This article examines the use of femtosecond (fs) laser ablation for site-specific TEM sample preparation in a FIB-SEM. Various workflows are shown facilitating TEM lamella preparation of regions of ...

Sample preparation will vary depending on the sample, imaging mode, and size of desired images. You will likely need to do a literature search to find the preparation best for your sample. Smaller ...

Clean, careful, targeted sample preparation is essential for obtaining valuable information from mass spectrometry experiments. A well-designed sample preparation protocol must avoid contamination by ...

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 ...

Whole blood sample stability as an analytical parameter should be assessed when developing pharmacodynamic flow cytometry assays. Sample stability will determine the robustness of detecting not only ...

All SEMs are supplied with a loading chamber or a sample holder where the sample is inserted. The use of aluminum stubs is recommended to load a sample in an SEM. These come in various standard sizes ...

Agilent Technologies has launched a sample preparation product for high fat samples that it claims gives labs a better way to address ‘one of their most challenging tasks’. The Agilent Bond Elut ...

Although next-generation sequencing (NGS) keeps giving—exploring the human genome and revolutionizing our knowledge of health and disease—it needs to take a little, too. At the very least, NGS ...

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 ...

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 ...
