Analytical chemistry studies and uses instruments and methods used to separate, identify, and quantify matter. In practice separation, identification or quantification may constitute the entire analysis or be combined with another method. Separation isolates analytes. Analytical chemistry consists of classical, wet chemical methods and modern, instrumental methods. Classical qualitative methods use separations such as precipitation, extraction, and distillation. Identification may be based on differences in color, odor, melting point, boiling point, radioactivity or reactivity. Classical quantitative analysis uses mass or volume changes to quantify amount.
We describe a mass spectrometry (MS) analytical platform resulting from the novel integration of acoustic droplet ejection (ADE) technology, an open-port interface (OPI), and electrospray io...
Proteins are the functional blocks of any biological entity from 50 nm sized viruses to the 100 ft long mammals (blue whale). They perform intra cellular, tissue, organ, system, or organism...
The amount of data that is produced each day is mind boggling. Over 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every single day, and this number continues to grow every single day. This year...
Design and interpretation of genome sequencing assays and data in both clinical diagnostics and research labs is complicated by an inability to identify information from the medical literatu...
The current gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis is based on the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Recent studies suggest limitations of RT-qPC...
The basic units of biological structure and function are cells, which exhibit wide variation in regard to both type and state. We assess such variation by simultaneously profiling the transc...
LIMS systems are used extensively in laboratories everywhere. As a tool in the lab we need to be able to trust the system to have the necessary data integrity. Just like the analytical metho...
Techniques to analyze and sort single cells based on secreted products have the potential to transform our understanding of cellular biology as well as accelerate the development of next gen...
The digital lab is knocking at your door. In the age of digitalization and Industry 4.0, the laboratory is also on its way to the future. Lab 4.0 includes robotic systems, fully automated wo...
In late 2019, nearly a decade into a life sentence, Lydell Grant was released from a Texas prison after being convicted of a murder that he did not commit. The victim, Aaron Scheerhorn, was...
Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are long-standing antimalarial drugs recently brought into the spotlight as potential treatments for the pandemic-causing coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Notable...
