We collected samples for RNA analysis (nurses N = 7, 25, 19; forager N = 15, 14, and 10 from colonies A, B, and C, respectively) on the last observation day (approximately 32, 33, and 26 days after the emergence of the first worker for colonies A, B, and C, respectively).
We collected samples for endotoxin analysis on 37-mm Teflon filters with 2-μm pore size (model 7592-104; Whatman Inc., Clifton, NJ) at a flow-rate of 10 L/min using a Leland Legacy pump (SKC Inc., Eighty Four, PA) for 6 hr during daytime hours.
We did not design the study to collect samples for analysis of endotoxin, but rather "piggy-backed" it onto two studies that set out to characterize PM concentrations in homes in Malawi and Nepal.
The sampler was designed with the primary goal of collecting samples for analysis of CO2 concentration and its isotopic composition in ecosystem-atmosphere flux research, but several other potential applications are also discussed.
The agency and the Suffolk County health department collected samples for further analysis.
The UC Berkeley team collected samples for dating and analysis at spots within the black rectangle near Mumbai.
Samples from previous field trips [3], [13], [14] were combined with the newly collected samples for the genetic analysis.
Second, we were not able to collect samples for microbiological analysis from all water sources used by surveyed households.
Camilla Souto to visit the Invertebrate Zoology and Paleobiology collections at the Smithsonian Institution for analysis of the external morphology of echinoids and to collect samples for molecular analysis.
Students will measure the stratigraphic section, describe any fossils and trace fossils, and collect samples for geochemical analysis.
Once complete, the drone will ascend up to 400 feet to collect samples for later analysis in a lab.
