They then analyzed the samples for concentrations of elements like sulfur, phosphorous, calcium, zinc and selenium.
She then analyzed the samples for their isotopic fingerprints, which provided insight into their origins.
They analyzed the samples for isotopes of thorium — an element that exists in windblown dust worldwide, at known concentrations.
Protein Sciences Corporation and Baylor College of Medicine analyzed the samples by plaque assay and InDevR analyzed the samples using the Virus Counter.
The scientists analyzed the samples for concentrations of a carbohydrate called human milk oligosaccharides.
The team analyzed the samples for estrogenic and androgenic activity, and looked closely at the levels of two endocrine-disrupting chemicals: BPA and ethinylestradiol, a common chemical component of oral contraceptives that's often found in municipal wastewater.
Recent samples of the material synthesized by their research group produced some unanticipated results, according to David Muller, professor of applied and engineering physics who analyzed the samples' atomic structures with his state-of-the-art microscope.
When the coauthors analyzed the samples, they were startled to find that of the 145 taxa they spotted, 98 had come from much farther south some as far as the tropics.
After deposition, structures, surface morphologies, and mechanical properties were analyzed, the samples were tested for their anti-wear and anti-bacterial behaviors against Gram-negative Escherichia coli.
MBKP and AK analyzed the samples.
Before being analyzed, the samples were carbon coated using Quorum Coater (Model Q150TE).
