Sample preparation involves gaining access to a feature of a sample for subsequent analysis. Doing so allows engineers and scientists to find a solution for damaged parts or better understand ...

The CCTS offers specialized support for the entire continuum of research specimen-associated needs. Working closely with the CRU, phase I clinic and other UAB Health System clinics, research specimens ...

The in situ heating temperature, sputtering power and argon gas pressure are all parameters, which may impact the magnetic properties, microstructure and applicability of these materials for HAMR.

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 ...

In drug discovery, a failed sample run is not just a setback - it can mean months of lost work and significant cost. At ...

Clean, careful, targeted sample preparation is essential for obtaining valuable information from mass spectrometry experiments. A well-designed sample preparation protocol must avoid contamination by ...

Quality control (QC) is a critical step in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry. Every manufacturer must demonstrate that its drugs are consistently produced, safe, potent, and pure. The ...

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 ...

Fluorescence Microscopy allows specimens to be studied with high sensitivity and specificity through the use of light. It works on the principle that energy emitted by certain types of materials can ...

Sample preparation makes up approximately 60% of the ion chromatography workflow. Due to the unique ion exchange mechanisms and separation chemistry of analytes, it’s important to understand how ...
