The group chose to use a swab rather than a brush or lavage as a self-sampling device because of its high acceptability, low price and good sampling performance (Schmeink et al, 2011).
The average RMSDtop over the studied protein-ligand complexes was reported to assess the overall sampling performance.
Spherical adsorbents with high adsorption capacity are recommended in order to decrease the adsorbent bed thickness and improve sampling performance.
Along with, sampling performance as well as uncertainty quantification of these methods are compared in terms of their ability to accurately and consistently evaluate unknown reservoir model parameters and reservoir future performance.
The sampling performance characteristics of a funnel-shaped large particle inlet (LPI) were obtained experimentally using wind-tunnel measurements and the results compared against computational fluid dynamics (CFD) predictions.
Besides, difference of the three samplers on the scope of the target analytes and exposure time, as well as the effects of environmental factors, e.g. hydrodynamic conditions, temperature, pH, ionic strength, DOM, on sampling performance were also introduced.
