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 ...

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 ...

Dice each gel slice into small pieces (1 mm2, or crush with razor blade) and place into 0.65 mL tubes. Add ~50 µL (or enough to cover) of 25 mM NH4HCO3/50% ACN, vortex and mix on the Nutator for 30 ...

The Agilent Bravo Metabolomics Sample Prep instrument reportedly can be used with any LC/MS system, and may be reconfigured for non-metabolomic workflows. Automating the preparation of biological ...

Validating the match between the active ingredient content mentioned in the packaging and the actual content in each tablet in a batch is a critical step in tablet manufacture. Highly precise ...

Researchers can work with low sample input and higher numbers of samples due to the miniaturization and scale-down of reagent and reaction volumes for low-input RNA-Seq workflows. The accurate ...

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 ...
