Single-cell proteomics provides information about a cell at its protein level, which can prove useful for anticancer drug resistance and cell differentiation research. However, current proteomics ...

XRF sample preparation is a precise method of preparing analytes for elemental analysis. For example, organic samples being analyzed by XRF must be uniformly homogenized through the use of hydraulic ...

The family of electron microscopy techniques have become staple methods for imaging nanoscale objects, including nanoparticles, viruses and proteins. The appeal of electron microscopy as a ...

Heat treatment originated in the Bronze Age and was developed further for processing iron (blacksmithing) around 800 BC, reaching a first peak with the production of Damascus steel at the start of the ...

“Next-generation Sample Preparation for Next-generation Applications” explores the novel and automated Laminar Wash™ system, the only suspension-cell sample preparation workstation designed to ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this process, the particle to be studied is exposed to electron beams under a high-resolution microscope called a transmission electron microscope and the micrographs or images captured are ...

The proteins that make up our cells hold within an entire world of information, which, when unlocked, can give us insights into the origins of many essential biological phenomena. This information is ...
