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 ...

Proper soil sample preparation is key to precise data on your soil’s pH, nutrient levels, and the exact soil amendments your ...

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 ...

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 ...

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) provides comprehensive genomic information about disease, development, and other biological processes. Though the NGS workflow has been vastly simplified, there are ...

Sample preparation is a critical bottleneck in analytical chemistry workflows, often requiring multiple steps, extensive manual handling and lengthy processing times that can compromise ...

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 ...

When thinking of celebrated technological innovations, it is perhaps rare that we consider the role of material scientists: the unsung heroes of advancement. Nonetheless, it is the great work of these ...

(Boston)--As analytical instrumentation (gas- and liquid-chromatographs coupled with mass spectrometers) increase in sensitivity and speed, forensic scientists may find themselves still hindered by ...
