Nation-wide, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) infect one in every 25 hospital patients, account for more than 100,000 deaths and increase medical costs by around $96-147B, each year. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) antimicrobial devices are shown to reduce the
The baseline separation of benzo[a]pyrene in complex samples via reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) is particularly challenging due to the potential for interferences from other molecular mass 252 (MM, g/mol) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs
The purpose of the NIST Database for the Simulation of Electron Spectra for Surface Analysis (SESSA) is to facilitate quantitative interpretation of Auger-electron and X-ray photoelectron spectra (AES/XPS) for surface analysis and to improve the accuracy
The research presented here describes the development of two analytical methods for use in the certification of a ginsenoside calibration solution Standard Reference Material (SRM) 3389 consisting of seven ginsenosides: Rg1, Re, Rf, Rb1, Rc, Rb2, and Rd
