Turn on the excitation light on the fluorimeter. Put a smart phone in the cradle and set it up to take pictures of the slide. Place two drops of water in the middle of the first two rows of the slide using a pipette. Align the drop by moving the slide so the drop is in the middle of the black fiber optic fitting. Cover the fluorimeter with the light box while maintaining the ability to use the smart phone to take pictures.
Research and DevelopmentBackground on Disease Markers Crohn's disease is a chronic, autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation of the digestive tract, also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Chronic, unmanaged inflammation can lead to a variety of symptoms. Researchers have also discovered genetic variations in certain regions of chromosome 5 and chromosome 10 that appear to contribute to Crohn disease risk. One area of chromosome 5, known as the IBD5 locus, contains several genetic changes that may increase the risk of developing this condition. Other regions of chromosome 5 and chromosome 10 identified in studies of Crohn disease risk are known as "gene deserts" because they include no known genes. The SNP's that are associated with this disease are rs11805303, rs10210302, rs9858542 in the BSN gene, rs17234657, rs1000113, rs10761659 and many more.- www.snpedia.com
