The lack of stringent regulations regarding raw materials for herbal supplements used for medicinal purposes has been a constant challenge in the industry. Ginkgo biloba L. leaf extracts attract consumers because of the supposed positive effect on mental
The 2019 MicroTAS conference (the 23rd International Conference of Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences) held in Basel, Switzerland, brought great opportunities to viewinspiring microscale compositions. Many of the best images were
The effective attenuation length (EAL) is a useful parameter in quantitative applications of X- ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This parameter is used in place of the inelastic mean free path (IMFP) in expressions for different XPS applications to

Establishing metrological traceability to a matrix-based certified reference material (CRM) that has been validated to be commutable among a group of measurement procedures (MPs) is central to producing equivalent results for a measurand in clinical
This study describes the use of inkjet printing for the preparation of test materials containing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on a biologically relevant matrix, and discusses the methods of using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) for
This is the first in a series of articles which present a new framework for computing the uncertainty in electron excited X-ray microanalysis measurements. This article will discuss the framework and apply it to a handful of simple but useful sub
