Summing up, to enable improved pathogen detection methods, standardized and harmonized sample preparation protocols are needed for different food matrices.
To promote harmonized sample handling across different sites, standardized protocols for sample collection, processing and storage have been developed and are provided in the Supplementary Appendix.
He's equally enamored of dance music — the technology of looping, layering, sampling, harmonizing and pitch-shifting; the programming of sounds and beats; the visceral presence of deep bass; the way sounds can arrive out of nowhere; the meltdown of song form to turn a single phrase into a hook or a mantra or an incantation.
A lack of granular data especially regarding death and morbidities makes it difficult to harmonize the sampling frames entirely (e.g., by excluding institutionalized individuals from the general population data), but it is unlikely that such a correction would qualitatively affect our conclusions.
There are some challenges in investigating these aspects: To generate commensurable data on the abundance of freshwater MP, harmonized monitoring procedures, including sampling, identification, and characterization, are needed.
We used the samples not included in the 70-sample per population harmonized data set; any population with more than 10 samples remaining was included in the validation set.
Before the start of the blood sample collection, the NTR and NESDA biobank protocols for processing and storage of blood samples were harmonized.
The ESCAPE (European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects) (ESCAPE 2014) and NewGeneris (CREAL 2011) programs are combining birth cohorts from across Europe and working toward harmonized data collection and sample processing.
For this reason, and in order to avoid any errors in interpretation, the American Diabetes Association and the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine Scientific Division (IFCC) have urged that practice be harmonized by considering plasma glucose only, regardless of sampling site and measuring device [ 79].
