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 ...

Laura Carbonell-Rozas, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Granada (Granada, Spain), discusses the potential of ...

Cole-Parmer, a leading supplier of laboratory equipment and reagents, is introducing the Arcis Sample Preparation System, which can extract DNA and RNA for downstream processes such as PCR/qPCR and ...

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 ...

Sample preparation involves gaining access to a feature of a sample for subsequent analysis. Doing so allows engineers and scientists to find a solution for damaged parts or better understand ...

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 today’s rapidly evolving landscape of next-generation sequencing (NGS), researchers face mounting pressure to deliver high-quality data from increasingly diverse and challenging sample types. From ...

In this interview, we speak to Colin Jump, CEO of ePrep, about their products that aim to automate analytical sample preparation as well as the future of automation within the life sciences. My name ...

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 ...

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 ...
