Sentence examples for mechanical assay from inspiring English sources

In a typical single-molecule mechanical assay, the molecule of interest is attached to a sensitive probe such as two micron-sized beads held in optical tweezers.

By using conditional Piezo1 deletion from red blood cells, a novel mechanical assay combining fluorescent calcium-imaging with cell membrane stretch and the novel chemical Piezo1-specific agonist described in the accompanying manuscript they demonstrate that calcium-influx is completely dependent on Piezo1 and leading to cell dehydration via the ion channel KCAa3.1.

Once we obtained microcores of different shapes and size manufactured from mortars of known dosage, the mechanical assays were performed for normalized specimens and microcores.

Meanwhile, coupling the typical fluorescent assays such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer with those mechanical assays also enables to visualize the intracellular in situ events under given mechanical stimuli.
