Flic tech company4/29/2023 ![]() Now imagine – you press a button and it automatically fires a “Good morning guys” in the Slack channel. We have this sweet tradition at work to greet our friends first thing in the morning as we come on Slack. I’m not going to bore you with the specific details of my personal life but I will let you in on my 19 Flic use cases that might (without exaggeration) change my life, and yours.īut before I get to my Flic review and personal list of use cases check out their video – it’s really cool! But being a 20-something startup employee with a tech-obsessed husband and a new found interest in apps made me think of all the more everyday uses for this invention. Now don’t get me wrong – I absolutely adore the idea of pressing a button to inform the world of the fancy brunch I’m about to have with my girlfriends. But this integration made me drop everything and enthuse to my husband about all the things I’ve always wanted to do but couldn’t because this didn’t previously exist. (If you don’t believe me just check out Ben Mulholland’s author page, not only are most articles about Zapier, he wrote a 111-page ebook about it - download HERE). I love Zapier – we all here at Process Street do. But working for a SaaS startup has made me put on my techy pants and actually follow the news and trends. I’m not known to go insane when finding out about apps and integrations – in fact, a year ago I probably didn’t know what an app means (no, I’m not kidding). Home Cage Advantage – Minimizes stress effects and their attendant metabolic/biochemical artifacts.On April 18th Zapier announced their newest integration with the Swedish smart button called Flic. Your animal is in a low-stress environment, safeguarded in the event of a power failure. Without a sealed cage prone to deteriorating seals, errors caused by “push-mode” leaks are eliminated. Pull-Mode Indirect Calorimetry – Secures greater accuracy and animal safety. Water Vapor Compensation – Sable indirect calorimetry systems measure water vapor dilution directly, eliminating sample gas drying and significantly increasing accuracy. Other systems untraceably alter then discard your raw data, preventing study validation or re-analysis. Preservation of Raw Data – Your actual study data is preserved in its original form with up to 1-second resolution, ensuring full traceability for GLP compliance or peer review. ![]() Integration and Expandability – Fully-integrated Promethion systems optimize overall performance, provide turn-key operation, and allow expandability as your needs change. High Definition Analysis – Exclusive SableHD™ high definition digital technology provides industry-leading accuracy, highest sampling rate, and unbeatable resolution of rapidly changing metabolic data. MAVEn™ System for Small Insect Flow-Through RespirometryĪD-2 Small Animal Motion/Activity DetectorįC-2 Differential Oxygen Analyzer (Oxzilla) Ro J, Harvanek ZM, Pletcher SD (2014) FLIC: High-Throughput, Continuous Analysis of Feeding Behaviors in Drosophila. The FLIC system’s real-time monitoring can capture a fly’s subtle changes in food preference, shown as the preference index (PI), as the experiment progresses.Ī multi-day feeding experiment without experimenter’s disturbance revealed circadian rhythm in feeding behavior for the first time. Representative signals from a single fly presented with a two-food-well feeding arena.Ĭapture Changes in Food Preference Over Time ![]() Detailed analysis of food intake facilitates discovery in fields as diverse as aging, metabolism, and neurobiology.įLIC system analog signals demonstrate distinct behavioral characteristics of feeding (left) and tasting (right). The fruit fly is one of the most powerful model systems in which to dissect neural mechanisms of complex behavior such as feeding, allowing researchers to study mechanisms of feeding preference and behavior using genetic and pharmacological means. It complements conventional methods of analysis, such as the CAFE assay and tracer dye approaches, by allowing comprehensive long-term studies of new and subtle aspects of feeding behavior. The FLIC system provides a precise and continuous quantification of the number and duration of interactions a fly has with food. High-Throughput Analysis of Drosophila Feeding Behavior
