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 ...

To produce high-quality cement, the mineralogical and chemical composition of raw materials, as well as of intermediate and finished products, needs to be determined. At each stage of the production ...

As a surface-sensitive technique, the diffraction signal comes from the top few nanometers of the crystal lattice in EBSD. Hence, the top layer needs to be devoid of oxidation, contamination and ...

In any chemical analysis, the most important step is sample preparation. The purity of the sample should be ensured before taking a measurement to obtain the optimum results when using any elemental ...

Microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) has advanced structural methods across a range of sample types, from small molecules to proteins. This cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) technique ...

The Zetasizer Advance range of light scattering instruments is the world’s most widely used system for nanoparticles, colloid and biomolecular particle sizing, particle concentration and particle ...

Sample preparation plays a crucial role in bioanalytical analysis involving chromatography. Insufficient sample preparation, such as skipping protein precipitation, phospholipid removal (PLR), ...

Mass spectrometry has become a cornerstone technology for studying protein expression, interactions, and post-translational modifications (PTMs) across biological systems. Advances in instrumentation ...

Laboratory testing found that a novel approach reduced the time required for sample preparation from hours to minutes. This article summarizes test methods and results. Questions often arise about the ...

Top-down proteomics using mass spectrometry facilitates the identification of intact proteoforms, that is, all molecular forms of proteins. Multiple past advances have lead to the development of ...
