UV-Fixed-Thick-Blotch Preparation Improves Sensitivity of Auramine Staining

Non-nuclear staining of thick tissue sections.

TB-v1: Software toolbox environment for the detection of TB bacilli in auramine staining

Tuberculosis and other mycobacteriosis are serious illnesses which control is based primarily in early diagnosis. In addition to clinical suspicion, a fundamental support in diagnosis is the staining of clinical samples with gender-specific colors. However, these techniques are not very sensitive so many times we must await the results of culture, which can take up to 2 months. We have develope...

Piezoelectric Thick Films: Preparation and Characterization

Single-strand DNA library preparation improves sequencing of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cancer DNA

DNA derived from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue has been a challenge to large-scale genomic sequencing, due to its low quality and quantities. Improved techniques enabling the genome-wide analysis of FFPE material would be of great value, both from a research and clinical perspective.Comparing a single-strand DNA library preparation method originally developed for ancient DN...
