• MRI zooms in on microscopic flow

  "Better and faster results!" is the clarion call for scientists and engineers to continually strive to improve their research tools. Of the tools used to study material structures at the atomic and molecular scales, there is none finer than Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and its daugh more

• Fuel cells in operation: A closer look

  Measuring a fuel cell's overall performance is relatively easy, but measuring its components individually as they work together is a challenge. That's because one of the best experimental techniques for investigating the details of an electrochemical device while it's operating is x-ray photoelectro more

• Water is an active element in proteins
  

  Biophysicists in Bochum have discovered a diode for protons: just like the electronic component determines the direction of flow of electric current, the “proton diode” ensures that protons can only pass through a cell membrane in one direction. Water molecules play an important role here as active more

• Looxster® - Enrichment and isolation of bacterial DNA using Pureprove® Technology
  

  Detection of the bacterial content of a specific sample, irrelevant from its source (i.e. Clinical, Food or Environmental), is not as straightforward as it seems. In clinical microbiology laboratories, the gold standard method for the detection of pathogens in patients suspected of systemic infections is the blood culture. However, this technique is known to have many drawbacks especially with regard to non-cultivable organisms, low abundance (longer lag phase) and patient's antibiotics treatment. more

• Ultrafast De Novo Sequencing of Corynebacterium urealyticum Using the Genome Sequencer 20 System
  

  A microbial genome sequence provides a wealth of data and specific information that cannot be obtained by other experimental approaches. A genome sequence can be regarded as the starting point for detailed bioinformatics analysis, metabolic reconstruction and systematic functional examination of all identified genes. In particular, genome sequencing has revealed important information on genes and deduced proteins of human pathogens, including putative virulence factors and potential new drug targets. more

• Accurate Mass and TIPTM: Two Dimensions for Elemental Composition Determination: microTOFTM Featuring Unique TIPTM
  

  The ESI-TOF mass spectrometers micrOTOF and micrOTOF focus do not only provide accurate mass measurements but additionally describe the True Isotopic Pattern TIPTM. For molecular formula generation this unique combination significantly reduces the number of possible formula candidates and the elemental composition of compounds with molecular weights far higher than 500 Da can unequivocally be determined more
