(Left) The HANABI-2000 apparatus enabled us to investigate the effect of serum samples derived from dialysis patients on beta2-microglobulin amyloid fibril formation. We named this instrument HANABI because it uses ultrasonication to induce synchronized amyloid formation which looks like a fireworks going off (“hanabi” means fireworks in Japanese.)
