Monitoring daily progression of a severe TBI patient by repeated imaging can be quite impractical, considering life supporting intensive care instrumentation.
At the same time, access to vast quantities of genomic data stored in publicly available databases can offer educators ways to engage undergraduates in authentic research and to democratize research that was previously possible only at research-intensive universities with massive instrumentation infrastructures.
This is consistent with reported permeabilities of 1 10 nD by Heller and Zoback (2013), who used a pulse-decay permeameter with helium (more labor- and instrumentation-intensive) on 1 2 mm sized Barnett chips.
But, most of these methods are labor intensive, error prone, time consuming, instrumentation intensive and expensive (Auty et al. [2001], Davey and Kell [1996], Walley and Germida [1995], Wright et al. [1993]).
Some have limited accuracy, require special instrumentation, and/or are labor intensive and expensive.

Traditional detection techniques are time-consuming, require expensive instrumentation and are labour-intensive.
Despite strong evidence for their utility as biomarkers (Table 3), one challenge to widespread adaptation of F2-IsoPs in clinical trials is that the most reliable methods for their quantitation, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and LC-MS/MS, are labor-intensive and require specialized and expensive instrumentation (7, 114).
Major risk factors for infection with ESBL-producing organisms are widespread use of third-generation cephalosporins, prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) or hospital stay, instrumentation and catheterization [ 2].
Single particle analysis methods that provide correlated size and intensity information on many individual nanoparticles in a population would be ideal, but these approaches can be slow, labor intensive, and involve complex and often custom instrumentation that is not suitable for widespread use.
