First Biological Sampling and Detection Symposium will focus on the systems level of detection, identification, warning, and forensics problems peculiar to Biological Warfare Agent (BWA) defense. It ...

Safe storage of biological samples is a cornerstone of successful research projects and clinical trials. However, challenges abound in keeping samples safe, properly preserved, and organized.

Discover practical strategies for analyzing challenging biological samples, from low-input and degraded specimens to complex matrices.

Separating single cells from their sample matrix without compromising cell integrity is a balancing act. Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is very sensitive to degradation caused during sample ...

(Nanowerk News) Microrobotics has advanced rapidly in recent years, allowing scientists to build minuscular machines able to penetrate hard-to-reach environments from inside the human body to ...

Multicolor flow cytometry is beneficial because it allows us to gain deeper insights from a given biological sample, with fewer repeat markers in each tube and quicker results. In this three-part ...

Air sampling: Collecting quantities and types of atmospheric contaminants from a representative sample of air. Amplicon (PCR): A piece of nucleic acid representing a specific product of the ...

Raman spectroscopy can be used to measure the chemical composition of a sample, which can in turn be used to extract biological information. Many materials have characteristic Raman spectra, which ...

Learn how animal scat reveals DNA insights on species, population size, diet, and movement—helping scientists protect wildlife without disturbance.

People's bodies can be old or young for their chronological age, depending, in part, on the amount and types of stressors they have experienced. Scientists can estimate people's biological age, but ...
