The proper preparation of heat sensitive samples is a critical aspect of laboratory work across various industries. Ensuring that samples maintain their integrity throughout the sample preparation ...

Biological samples come in all shapes and sizes, for example, tough and fibrous plants, hard bones, soft muscles, tough and viscous sputum, or tumor or liver tissue. In addition, there are millions of ...

Environmental testing laboratories are operating in an increasingly demanding landscape, where high productivity, cost ...

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 ...

The primary method for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) testing remains the well-established RT-PCR test: yet, the sample preparation phase consumes a lot of time – using a swab to extract cell material from the ...

Running samples on any chromatography instrument involves sample preparation as a fundamental process. For even the highest quality instruments, sample clean-up is crucial in obtaining the best ...

For XRF analysis, fused bead creation via fusion provides a nearly perfect, homogeneous sample representation. This method is ideal for solid samples. Gas and electric fusion machines can be used to ...

The images produced with a cryo-electron microscope can only be as good as the sample that goes into it. That's why Jiro Usukura, at the Structural Biology Research Center, Nagoya University, says ...

In 2026, the semiconductor industry is entering a stage where quality assurance and failure analysis (FA) must operate with ...

Although next-generation sequencing (NGS) keeps giving—exploring the human genome and revolutionizing our knowledge of health and disease—it needs to take a little, too. At the very least, NGS ...
