Sampling Methods: Sample Types01:18

Sampling Methods: Sample Types

3.2K
Sampling materials are classified into three main types: solid, liquid, and gas.
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...

Preparation of Samples for Electron Microscopy

6.9K
To be visualized by an electron microscope, either transmission or scanning, biological samples need to be fixed (stabilized) so the electron beam does not destroy them and dried thoroughly (desiccated/dehydrated) so the vacuum does not affect them. Fixation needs to be done as quickly as possible because the sample properties will start changing as soon as it is removed from its natural environment. For example, in a tissue sample, the oxygen levels begin decreasing, causing an altered...

Sample Preparation for Analysis: Overview

3.5K
Sample preparation is an essential step in the analytical process. It involves preparing a sample so that it can be analyzed accurately. The goal is to extract the analyte, the substance you want to measure, from the sample while removing any components that may interfere with the analysis. Sample preparation techniques vary depending on the physical state of the sample.
Bulk or large solid samples are typically reduced in size using grinding, crushing, or milling techniques to increase the...

Sample Preparation for Analysis: Advanced Techniques

1.3K
Accurate analysis of complex samples often requires advanced preparation techniques to achieve reliable and reproducible results. Samples containing inorganic or organic materials can be challenging to dissolve or decompose effectively. Standard sample preparation methods include acid digestion, fusion, dry ashing, and wet digestion.
Acid digestion with strong acids is commonly used to dissolve inorganic materials that are insoluble (do not dissolve) in water. This method can be useful for...

Sampling Theorem01:15

Sampling Theorem

1.3K
In signal processing, the analysis of continuous-time signals, denoted as x(t), often involves sampling techniques to convert these signals into discrete-time signals. This process is essential for digital representation and manipulation. A critical component in sampling is the train of impulses, characterized by the sampling interval and the sampling frequency. The relationship between these parameters and the original signal's properties dictates the success of the sampling process.

Bandpass Sampling01:17

Bandpass Sampling

486
In signal processing, bandpass sampling is an effective technique for sampling signals that have most of their energy concentrated within a narrow frequency band. This type of signal is known as a bandpass signal. The key principle of bandpass sampling involves sampling the signal at a rate that is greater than twice the signal's bandwidth to prevent aliasing.
A bandpass signal has a spectrum with a lower frequency limit, denoted as ω1, and an upper frequency limit, denoted as ω2....

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Biotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Automated short tandem repeat (STR) analysis is crucial for forensic investigations.
  • Current methods face challenges with DNA evidence variability in sample type, quality, and quantity.
  • A need exists for robust, adaptable systems for "sample-in-answer-out" forensic DNA analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a fully integrated, modular microsystem for automated forensic STR analysis.
  • To design adaptable sample preparation modules (SPMs) for diverse forensic samples.
  • To achieve efficient and low-cost STR profiling from various sample types.

Main Methods:

  • A modular microsystem with a chip cartridge integrating capillary array electrophoresis (CAE).
  • Two SPMs: a direct SPM for buccal swabs (no DNA extraction) and an extraction SPM for blood samples.
  • Chitosan-modified quartz filter paper for DNA extraction and "in situ" PCR in the extraction SPM.

Main Results:

  • The direct SPM produced STR profiles from buccal swabs in approximately 2 hours.
  • The extraction SPM achieved 90% DNA extraction efficiency from blood samples.
  • The microsystem successfully analyzed minute, diluted, and latent bloodstains, yielding full STR profiles with 100% allele calling.

Conclusions:

  • The developed modular microsystem offers a versatile solution for forensic STR analysis.
  • It effectively handles a wide range of forensic DNA samples, including challenging ones.
  • This technology enhances the utility of automated DNA typing for both urgent and routine forensic investigations.
