Yet in mining labs around the world, primary sample crushing still comes with a host of headaches: abrasive materials wear down equipment far too early, maintenance shutdowns delay critical analytical ...

This article examines the use of femtosecond (fs) laser ablation for site-specific TEM sample preparation in a FIB-SEM. Various workflows are shown facilitating TEM lamella preparation of regions of ...

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 ...

Sample preparation includes removing the sample from the container, shaking or stirring it, filling it into the measuring system, positioning the measuring system as well as the subsequent waiting ...

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 ...

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 ...

The SCAP PLS system samples directly from disposable cartridges without prior solid-phase extraction or any other sample desalting/pre-processing step. After placing the cartridges into the SCAP PLS ...

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 ...

Sample preparation is essential when employing chromatography for bioanalytical analysis as system performance will be negatively affected if it is not performed. Preparation methods include protein ...

A recent paper published in Food Chemistry 1 presented a high-throughput, green analytical chemistry approach for ...
