The most probable number (MPN) bioburden test method can be a valuable tool for determining bioburden counts when the typical bioburden test methods are problematic on a particular product or when a ...

My March column addressed flexural test methods for composite materials. I noted that the details presented in the various available national and international standards were not mutually consistent ...

A new test method for elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers has been developed and now is standardized, according to ASTM 8363-20. The purpose of the TSSR test is to rapidly characterize those ...

There are two major strategies for converting proteins extracted from biological material to peptides suitable for mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteome analysis. The first involves solubilization of ...

In my previous column (see “Editor's Picks,” at right), I discussed transverse flexural testing of a unidirectional composite as one method of evaluating the strength of the fiber/matrix interfacial ...
