Biomimetic reaction vessels. Chemical limit on miniaturization. Conformation by electrochemistry. A dissection of cross section. 309 A Science Shorter sample cleanup times.
Sample preparation is often the bottleneck in analyses.
Richard D. Smith and his colleagues at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory tackle this problem with a microfabricated device that uses dual microdialysis chambers to clean up samples before analysis. The dope on dopamine. Brain chemistry researchers may need to rethink one of their key assumptions. MCE stacks up. It is simple, easy, and counterintuitive.
