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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 quality of your sequencing template greatly affects the success of the sequencing reaction. Sequencing by capillary electrophoresis is highly sensitive to sample contamination. Potential ...
