Pics from our lab

our Institute

That's were my spiders live

each spider is measured before the venom extraction

venom is extracted via electrical stimulation

not all spider yield that much of crude venom!


In this organ baths I carry out the chick biventer experiments



That's how the Musculus biventer cervicis is set up in the organ bath



our HPLC



Microinjector for injection of venom into crickets

it's a bit tricky to hold the hold the small crickets during the injection 

Crickets are then observed at regular time intervals after injection for signs of paralysis or death


120 crickets can be tested per day
