In this mode the tip oscillates over the sample, occasionally tapping it for a short enough time to avoid damage to the surface while still measuring topology and interaction between the tip and the surface; this measuring mode would become essential for
studies of biological samples.

boundary of biological samples being studied and moving towards more difficult targets of higher molecular weight and complexity.
Having collected a substantial
library of biological samples in order to conduct research in this area, they have tested the data by working closely with the University of Leicester and its leading statistical and data processing techniques.
In claiming the top prize, the motorized hand beat out Polar, a robotic system used by the U.K. Biobank to manage
millions of biological samples in subzero temperatures; a technology developed by Johnson Matthey for controlling soot emissions from diesel cars; and an, Owlstone Ltd. dime - size chemical sensor on a silicon chip that detects trace amounts of a variety of chemicals.
We here at Science don't spend a lot of time covering ghosts and UFOs, but we couldn't resist this study — the first peer - reviewed, genetic
survey of biological samples claimed to be from Bigfoot and his kin.
HFIR's neutron beams were cooled to minus 253 degrees Celsius (minus 424 degrees Fahrenheit) to slow the neutrons down, so they could probe molecular
features of the biological samples.
«We are proud that we can support this important scientific project with our long - standing expertise in the long - term
storage of biological samples,» says IBBL CEO Dr. Catherine Larue.
Shannon then sequences the
DNA of the biological samples to learn more about how the life in each unique ecosystem survives in such harsh conditions.
The
availability of biological samples from individuals with alcoholic liver disease (ALD), as well as samples from appropriate heavy drinking, yet healthy controls and non-drinking healthy controls, is an essential first step in the translation of basic research advances to the clinic.
Taking advantage of the high efficiency of the keratinocyte reprogramming process, Aasen decided to test whether he could establish KiPS cells from minute
amounts of biological samples.
Designed in collaboration with the EMBL (Heidelberg, Germany), scanR is a modular microscope - based imaging platform designed for fully automated image acquisition and data
analysis of biological samples.
Transmission electron microscope: design, image formation, interference,
preparation of biological samples (chemical methods - fixation, dehydration, infiltration, embedding, preparation of ultrathin sections, contrasting; physical methods - low - temperature processes, microwaves), digitizing the image in TEM.
As the
donation of a biological sample was a voluntary component of the overarching study the majority of donors chose to give a saliva sample from which peripheral levels of serotonin could not be obtained.
Finding out whether a given peptide activates a specific T - cell receptor has been a historically piecemeal process with a 20 to 30 percent success rate, involving burdensome hit - and - miss
studies of biological samples.
Plans for an expansive
collection of biological samples, including cheek swabs for DNA, dried blood spots to test immune function, and saliva for additional cortisol levels, had to be pared back.
We have
thousands of biological samples that will be transferred back here to New York, and we're going to analyze them using all the tools of microbiological analysis we developed to look at acute diseases in the past.
Lab - on - a-chip designates devices that integrate various biochemical functions on a fingernail - sized chip to enable quick and compact biological analysis or medical diagnosis by processing a small
volume of biological samples, such as a drop of blood.
For example, next - generation sequencing can be used to read the complete genetic
information of a biological sample, DNA chips directly measure the activity of thousands of genes simultaneously, mass spectrometry characterizes proteins expressed in a tissue, high - resolution imaging -LSB-...]
Based in Paris, BioAxial develops and markets CODIM, super-resolution (SR) imaging solutions for the study
of biological samples, to a level of less than 100nm.
King's College London will be leading the project's patient participation efforts, including project and ethical approval and collection
of biological samples.
Kalodimos will also oversee a major expansion of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance resource at St. Jude, including one of the most powerful magnets in the world, which will be used to enhance the study
of biological samples.
