The aim of the present study was to compare bone-collecting capacity of bone harvesting device and minimally irrigated low-speed drilling using three implant systems. One bone harvesting device and three commercially available drill systems were comp...
In mice, ejaculated semen is deposited in the uterus. After ejaculation, the semen changes consistency from gel-like to watery, a process called liquefaction. In this study, we show how to collect the post-ejaculated semen from the female reproductiv...
Sexual assault evidence samples require the use of a specific process known as a differential digestion to separate sperm from nonsperm cells prior to DNA extraction. An automated differential digestion process was developed using a selective degrada...
Different Mycobacterium spp. infections may indicate varied treatment regimens in the clinic. Thus, the species-level identification of Mycobacterium spp. is one of the most important tasks for a clinical microbiology laboratory. Although matrix-assi...
The demand for automation in the analytical laboratory is high. In contrast to well-automated bioscreening and high-throughput and high-content screening processes, analytical measurement procedures are complex in their structure and changing frequen...
For several decades, a common approach for processing sexual assault evidence has been to use the "standard" differential extraction to separate the evidence into a non-sperm-cell fraction and a sperm-cell fraction for further analysis. In this stand...
Manual hand counting of parasites in fecal samples requires costly components and substantial expertise, limiting its use in resource-constrained settings and encouraging overuse of prophylactic medication. To address this issue, a cost-effective, au...
BACKGROUND: The purification of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by means of density gradient (1.07 g/mL) centrifugation is one of the most commonly used methods in diagnostics and research laboratories as well as in biobanks. Here, we eval...

Background Delta check is widely used for detecting specimen mix-ups. Owing to the inadequate specificity and sparseness of the absolute incidence of mix-ups, the positive predictive value (PPV) of delta check is considerably low as it is labor consu...
