What Are the Different Types of Chromatography?
From paper chromatography to column chromatography to gas chromatography, there are different types of Chromatography. Chromatography is a way to separate mixtures into their parts. It is performed by passing a mixture through another substance, where the...
What is Auger Electron Spectroscopy or Scanning Auger Microscopy?
Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), sometimes called Scanning Auger Microscopy (SAM), is an analytical technique used to study surfaces. It uses a high-energy or focused electron beam to excite atoms near the surface of a solid sample. The excited atoms then...
Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin | Women in Science
Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was a Nobel Prize-winning chemist who developed protein crystallography. She is responsible for advancing X-ray crystallography, a method for determining a crystals 3D structure. At age 10, Dorothy became interested in chemistry and...
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Analysis and Testing
What is Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing? PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction and may be called "molecular photocopying," as it's a technique used to "amplify," or copy, DNA segments. According to the National Institutes of Health's National Human Genome...
