Dynamic light scattering (DLS) can be a challenging or easy technique based on the sample. Occasionally, the challenge comes from data interpretation 1 and sometimes from sample preparation 2. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

When thinking of celebrated technological innovations, it is perhaps rare that we consider the role of material scientists: the unsung heroes of advancement. Nonetheless, it is the great work of these ...
