Proper quality measures are vital in all areas of clinical laboratory testing to prevent or avoid carryover between samples, as well as to minimize the risk of false-positive results. The sample ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a very popular analysis tool for 3D surface topology visualization and other measurements on a wide range of materials at nanoscales ...

Implementing dimpling technologies, materials science sample preparation for TEM is now an established practice. A crucial component of this procedure is the capacity to precisely calibrate the ...

To produce high-quality cement, the mineralogical and chemical composition of raw materials, as well as of intermediate and finished products, needs to be determined. At each stage of the production ...

The complexity and abundance of proteins in most biological systems exceed the resolution capacity of every currently existing analytical technique. Perhaps the most striking example is the serum ...

Mass spectrometry has become a cornerstone technology for studying protein expression, interactions, and post-translational modifications (PTMs) across biological systems. Advances in instrumentation ...

Reliable sample preparation in geology maintains material integrity, delivering high-quality surfaces for accurate mineralogical and analytical evaluation.

The family of electron microscopy techniques have become staple methods for imaging nanoscale objects, including nanoparticles, viruses and proteins. The appeal of electron microscopy as a ...

A common theme of many of the presentations at the Knowledge Foundation’s “Sample Prep” conference, to be held this month in Baltimore, will be how to purify nucleic acids, including DNA, RNA, and ...

With many traditional sample filtration and separation procedures, researchers face complex, time-consuming workflows with low sample recovery. To facilitate and accelerate sample processing, and ...
