The most probable number (MPN) bioburden test method can be a valuable tool for determining bioburden counts when the typical bioburden test methods are problematic on a particular product or when a ...

My March column addressed flexural test methods for composite materials. I noted that the details presented in the various available national and international standards were not mutually consistent ...

There are two major strategies for converting proteins extracted from biological material to peptides suitable for mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteome analysis. The first involves solubilization of ...

Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has become the most popular technique for proteomics analysis. In this strategy, proteins of a sample are typically separated by PAGE and then digested ...

In my previous column (see “Editor's Picks,” at right), I discussed transverse flexural testing of a unidirectional composite as one method of evaluating the strength of the fiber/matrix interfacial ...

The testing of the semiconductor dies produced by a wafer fabrication plant involves a long series of operations requiring meticulous care. The time spent performing these tests markedly affects both ...

Wire bonding is widely used in electronic devices, the semiconductor industry, and microelectronics. It enables interconnections between the die and other electronic components in an integrated ...
