@JessicaSacher@MotherOfPhage Didn't really compare it to other instruments but at some point we did bring in another version of it; I think the SpectroStar (?) thinking we might use the cuvette port but we actually found its readings =/= the ClarioStar in terms of reproducing our TKA stuff. (2/2)
@JessicaSacher@MotherOfPhage We had a notion to use the injection system but didn't get around to setting that up haha. Honestly it's just been a real simple to set up workhorse in the lab and I quite like how sensitive it is for either OD/fluorescence. We use it for everything from TKA to EU quant kits. 1/2
@JessicaSacher@MotherOfPhage Seconding ClarioStar! We've had one since 2019 and it's run pretty much 5 days/week since then and it's still chugging along!
I won't be at the conference this year but phage phriends & immunology enthusiasts, please check out @AllisonHedin 's poster on Tuesday at @Evergreen_Phage ! 👩🔬 Also give her a follow as she's new to Twitter/X!
I'm so old I wrote that!
That's assuming it's the Windows version, which is the one I worked on. The Win9x game, art, and original code, were done by Maxis/Cinematronics. I ported it to Windows NT, converted the x86 asm to C, made it work on RISC, and so on.
Success has many fathers, and all credit should really go to the original designers... I'm just the fun uncle that brought it to the masses.
The CHOMA exhibit at #ASMicrobe showcases a selection of items with connections to some of the most important figures in microbiology's history—from Alice Evans, ASM's first woman president, to Joshua Lederberg. If you're on site, be sure to swing by & take a look for yourself!
ASM staff is on site and hard at work with final preparations for #ASMicrobe! We can’t wait to see you there—and we're happy announce that the curfew has been lifted!
.@lkharrat10 (@SDSU) et al published a paper on #phage immunogenicity assessment, showing a novel phage Risk Index to predict CpG-mediated immune activation potential of phages & guide selection of therapeutic candidates with optimized immunogenic profiles

It's the annual Roach Lab Halloween photo! 🎃 We had a ~🐟fishy~ situation with all the great costumes this year but we think our PI and undergrad Duc took the cakes! 🍰
Haven’t tweeted in a minute but really excited to be attending @UCI_Microbiome SoCal Microbiome Meeting today! 🧫 Excited for great microbe and phage talks that are already underway!
