This perfusion array allows quick changing of solutions. Solutions with different drugs are applied while recording the bioelectrical activity of nerve cells. The handmade array, roughly the size of a matchbook and very fragile, is essential for determining drug effectiveness at the level of a single protein鈥檚 function. I used a dual-light source to construct it using fine tubing, super-glue, wax, and half-millimetre glass barrels.
