Ileum

Scientists who want to carry out virtual laboratory experiments might find an application such as Ileum pretty interesting since it allows them to test the effects of a multitude of substances on the Guinea Pig Ileum.

Despite the very specific purpose the software utility serves, its setup remains on the simplistic side, so there is nothing troublesome about it, and the same can be said about the user interface.

In order to start your experiment, you need to go to the Ileum menu and select the Procedure module. This allows you to choose the drug whose effects you want to simulate. And since we have touched upon the subject, you may want to know that these pharmaceutics are grouped into two main categories, namely blockers such as Atropine, Hexamethonium, Mepyramine, or Eserine, as well as agonists including Carbachol, Histamine, Furmethide, Methacholine, Vasopressin, Barium Chloride, and more.

Once you select the drug you want to apply, you need to enter its corresponding concentration, and opting for a washout is also possible in case you want to start a new phase of your experiment.

Another module worth mentioning is the History one, which logs all the steps you have taken during your experiment, with a chart being integrated into the main window along with relevant details so that you can easily keep an eye on your simulation. Copying, saving or printing your chart is possible, which means you can integrate your findings with separate scientific investigations.

On an ending note, Ileum provides you with a straightforward means of mimicking the biological variability in relation to various drugs and the response they trigger on in-vitro Guinea Pig Ileum species. The program lets you be in full control of the test results, which you can analyze by looking at a graph you may export, so it could prove a valuable tool in your scientific endeavors.
