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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

See how QIAGEN’s flexible pipetting technologies optimize PCR sample preparation, enabling consistent results and faster ...

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 ...

Nanoindentation is a method of measurement of the mechanical properties of small volumes of materials using an instrumented indentation technique. Elastic modulus, hardness, fracture toughness, creep ...

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 ...

Laboratory testing found that a novel approach reduced the time required for sample preparation from hours to minutes. This article summarizes test methods and results. Questions often arise about the ...
