Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a very popular analysis tool for 3D surface topology visualization and other measurements on a wide range of materials at nanoscales ...

The Knowledge Foundation’s “Sample Prep Symposium” held recently in Baltimore focused on the mundane but critical aspects of sample preparation including collection, concentration, lysis, target ...

This article examines the use of femtosecond (fs) laser ablation for site-specific TEM sample preparation in a FIB-SEM. Various workflows are shown facilitating TEM lamella preparation of regions of ...

When preparing cross sections, the standard procedure using the FIB-SEM technique is the use of high currents to quickly remove material, then lower the FIB current for an improved beam profile and ...

Sample preparation is essential when employing chromatography for bioanalytical analysis as system performance will be negatively affected if it is not performed. Preparation methods include protein ...

The family of electron microscopy techniques have become staple methods for imaging nanoscale objects, including nanoparticles, viruses and proteins. The appeal of electron microscopy as a ...

Employing Liquid-Handling Automation For Faster and More Reliable Results In the next three years, the number of next-generation sequencing (NGS) samples processed will more than double. The NGS ...

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) can provide invaluable insights into subcellular structures in their native environment at molecular resolution. Cryo-focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) has been widely ...
