Questions related to Platypus
Dear researchers,
Can anyone help me to identify these odd mammary glands in Ornithorynchus anaticus ?
I struggle to understand its mecanism :
The secretion from all these flat lobes have a pore, or is it the central canal that erupt from the the skin ?
Is it compound tubules or acinii in nature ? Or just tubules that radiated around a canal ?
I really want to compare this gland structure to Eutherian mammals.
Thank you very much !
Is there any way in Europe to get a small amount of frozen citrate plasma (several microliters should be enough) of platypus and echidna from Australia?
The research would involve cross-check reaction of some monotreme plasma proteins on antibodies against human plasma proteins by western-blotting.
If anyone has an access to the animals and knows how to organize such matter I would be grateful for personal contact.
Hello, I am working with AFM and I need to deposit different polymers on ultra flat stripped gold chips on silicon wafer. I would like to purchase the ultra flat stripped gold from platypus
I know these chips are meant for one use only, but there is someone aware of a good cleaning procedure I could use to remove the polymer and the possible contaminations and reuse the chip more than once?
Thank you very much for your help.
