Two digestion procedures have been tested on nut samples for application in the determination of essential (Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn) and non-essential (Al, Ba, Cd, Pb) elements by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).
A fully automated, high-throughput method was developed to profile the fatty acids of phospholipids from human plasma samples for application to a large epidemiological sample set (n > 25,000).
These genetically engineered sensor cells are patterned on a solid surface, incorporated into a single hardware platform, and simultaneously exposed to a sample, for applications such as environmental monitoring, disease diagnostics, and others.
Thus, the aim of our study was to comprehensively compare fresh-frozen samples, HOPE-fixed samples, and FFPE samples for their application to common morphologic and molecular methods (i.e. H&E staining, immuhistochemistry, DNA and RNA extraction, PCR, qRT-PCR, western blotting and fluorescence in-situ hybridization).
This review focuses on the extra steps in sample preparation for application of DLLME in different matrixes such as food, biological fluids and solid samples.
Proteomic methods are today widely applied to formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples for several applications in research, especially in molecular pathology.
This work aims to investigate the tribocorrosion behavior of DLC coatings systems, obtained by PIID only and PEMS + PIID hybrid techniques, applied on Ti-6Al-4V alloy samples for biomedical applications.
The results are of potential benefit in producing surface engineered porous samples for biomedical applications which do not only address the stress shielding problem, but also improve the chemical integration.
The range of pore structures and mechanical strengths obtained in this study demonstrates the versatility of the processing route used herein, which could be used to obtain samples for several applications, including catalysis, fluids filtration, and bioengineering.
However, relatively little is known about the individual impact of each of these different variables on the usefulness of samples for molecular applications, such as PCR.
Samples for biological applications are usually relatively thin and of uniform thickness.
