The Knowledge Foundation’s “Sample Prep Symposium” held recently in Baltimore focused on the mundane but critical aspects of sample preparation including collection, concentration, lysis, target ...

New software for Pluto Workstation automates cocktailing, staining, and centrifuge-free washing — running the lab’s existing ...

A tissue sample has to be prepared prior to the analysis of its cellular and molecular components. This preparation step, known as “sample prep” reduces the complexity of the sample and enables ...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly employed to dive deeper into complex biological mechanisms in a myriad of disciplines. But as with most methodologies, the quality of the input ...

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

Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) is a form of size exclusion chromatography which can be used to 'clean' complex mixtures of large, interfering molecules from samples further used for analytical ...

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 ...

As scientists, we can be very uncomfortable with the concept of “good enough”. It feels contrary to everything that we are trained to do—to keep meticulous notes and take our time testing and ...
