The author examines sample-preparations methods used in inductively coupled plasma–optimal emission spectroscopy for four test metals. When analyzing for trace metals using inductively coupled plasma ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a new article, researchers provide an overview of sample preparation techniques and information on routine sample types that may be encountered in forensic toxicology cases. As analytical ...

Sample preparation plays a crucial role in bioanalytical analysis involving chromatography. Insufficient sample preparation, such as skipping protein precipitation, phospholipid removal (PLR), ...

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 ...

Whole blood sample stability as an analytical parameter should be assessed when developing pharmacodynamic flow cytometry assays. Sample stability will determine the robustness of detecting not only ...

Agilent Technologies has launched a sample preparation product for high fat samples that it claims gives labs a better way to address ‘one of their most challenging tasks’. The Agilent Bond Elut ...

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 ...

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 ...

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