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 ...

Microbiome sequencing has a reputation issue. From the outside, it appears to be one of modern biology's most powerful tools: ...

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 ...

High-quality sample preparation underpins every molecular workflow, determining whether downstream analyses accurately reflect biological reality. Laboratories now demand workflows that go beyond ...

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 ...

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 ...

To produce high-quality cement, the mineralogical and chemical composition of raw materials, as well as of intermediate and finished products, needs to be determined. At each stage of the production ...
