Practise makes perfect

After my fourth attempt at Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assay, I managed to shave off four hours of handling time with sixteen mice without compromising on the number of viable splenocytes (cells from the spleen). ELISPOT is usually used for monitoring immune responses in humans and animals since I am researching on human flu vaccine.

This record time came with practise where I became familiar with the experiment and by planning ahead. I am looking forward to my result tomorrow.
