Clinical pathology laboratories face the unique challenge of rapidly preparing cells from complex matrices such as neonatal nasal mucus or miniscule biopsies for TEM imaging with no margin for loss or error for fast return of a diagnosis to patients awaiting life-saving treatment. "With this comes great responsibility because the findings of our ul...

Immuno electron microscopy (IEM) enables the study of the interrelationship between the cellular
content of biomolecules and their proposed function at high resolution. It concurrently provides sensitive
antigen detection and detailed cellular structure information. However, IEM is considered one of the
most challenging techniques in cell biology [...

- Volume 22 Issue S3 - E.B. Frankel, B.K. August, A. Audhya, T.E. Strader
Electron microscopy (EM) specimen preparation and grid processing are tedious, time consuming and prone to error. For most life science applications and some materials applications, preparation for Transmission or Scanning EM requires each specimen to be sequentially processed with multiple fluids such as fixes, rinses, solvents, resins, stains, an...
A new method for ultra-fast flow injection analysis-mass spectrometry (FIA-MS) has been developed. An eight probe autosampler system implemented for FIA-MS analysis of combinatorial libraries synthesized in microtiter plates has enabled sample analysis times to be dramatically reduced as compared to microtiter plate analyses using single arm autosa...
