Bluetooth wireless technology is an open standard for short-range radio frequency communication used primarily to establish wireless personal area networks (WPANs), and has been integrated into many types of business and consumer devices. This publication

Peak Fraction Purity and Chromatographic Resolution: Gaussian Peaks Revisited

January 19, 2022
Author(s)
Andre Striegel, Deborah Striegel
For incompletely resolved peak pairs, the purity of the chromatographic or fractographic fractions is oftentimes underestimated by the common user. This results in wasted time and effort while trying to achieve higher resolution than needed for the

Quantitative Determination of Cell Viability Using Absorbance Microscopy

January 19, 2022
Author(s)
Greta Babakhanova, Stephen Zimmerman, Laura Pierce, Sumona Sarkar, Nicholas Schaub, Carl Simon Jr.
Cell viability is an essential measurement for cell therapy products. One of the most common tests is Trypan blue (TB) dye exclusion where blue-stained cells are counted via imaging. Typically, live and dead cells are counted based on pixel intensities of

Respecting Ventilation: Now More than Ever

January 19, 2022
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily
At Indoor Air 2005 the author gave a plenary in which he channeled Aretha Franklin to suggest that the IAQ field needed to give ventilation more R-E-S-P-E-C-T. That presentation and subsequent paper (Persily, 2006) stressed the science behind ventilation
