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 ...

The transmission of viruses through biological materials is of great concern to many researchers and managers of lab animal facilities. There is ample documentation 1 for the confounding effects of ...

Liquid chromatography using tandem mass spectrometry detection (LC/MS/MS) is the technique of choice for small molecule bioanalyses in clinical and preclinical studies. Sample-preparation steps are ...

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 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 ...

Sample preparation will vary depending on the sample, imaging mode, and size of desired images. You will likely need to do a literature search to find the preparation best for your sample. Smaller ...

All NanoESCA measurements are extremely surface sensitive. As an approximate guide, XPS measurements probe up to 10 nm of the sample surface, ARPES and UPS measurements probe between 0.5 and 1 nm, and ...

As a surface-sensitive technique, the diffraction signal comes from the top few nanometers of the crystal lattice in EBSD. Hence, the top layer needs to be devoid of oxidation, contamination and ...
