2016
To investigate simple fabrication approaches for multiple assay needs, we created a fluid-absorbing channel system made of cotton material. This device was used to establish a multiple detection platform, and solve contamination issues that commonly affect lateral flow-based biomedical devices, for clinical urinalysis of nitrite, total protein, and urobilinogen.

All animal procedures described here must be conducted in accordance with institutional animal ethics guidelines and approved by IACUC. All procedures must follow the principles of the 3Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—and must be performed by trained personnel. Rabbits possess powerful hindlimb musculature and are susceptible to spinal injury if they struggle or kick while inadequately supported. Because rabbits vary in temperament and may struggle during restraint, handlers should...

Rescue of recombinant arenaviruses from cloned cDNAs, an approach referred to as reverse genetics, allows researchers to investigate the role of specific viral gene products, as well as the contribution of their different specific domains and residues, to many different aspects of the biology of arenavirus. Likewise, reverse genetics techniques in FDA-approved cell lines (Vero) for vaccine development provides novel possibilities for the generation of effective and safe vaccines to combat human...

Source: Laboratory of Dr. B. Jill Venton - University of Virginia Sample preparation is the way in which a sample is treated to prepare for analysis. Careful sample preparation is critical in analytical chemistry to accurately generate either a standard or unknown sample for a chemical measurement. Errors in analytical chemistry methods are categorized as random or systematic. Random errors are errors due to change and are often due to noise in instrument. Systematic errors are due to...
FAQs
Enrichment increases the opportunity to recover a target microorganism before additional identification steps are performed. The sample is placed under defined conditions that support the subsequent use of selective and differential culture media. This staged approach helps laboratories examine complex food, cosmetic, or product samples systematically rather than relying on direct observation alone.
Selective media help focus growth toward microorganisms of analytical interest, while differential media provide observable distinctions among organisms that grow. Used together, they narrow the range of candidates requiring further examination. Their defined use within BAM procedures supports consistent interpretation and makes results more comparable between laboratories analyzing similar product samples.
Culture-based observations may identify candidates, but biochemical tests provide additional characterization based on measurable microbial properties. When appropriate, molecular confirmation adds another level of evidence for identifying the target organism. Combining these approaches strengthens analytical conclusions and helps laboratories distinguish confirmed findings from preliminary growth or appearance on culture media.
Defined sampling establishes how material enters the analytical workflow, reducing variation before enrichment and identification begin. When laboratories follow comparable sampling and testing conditions, their findings become easier to compare and evaluate. This consistency is particularly important when results inform contamination investigations, regulatory decisions, or assessments of microbial hazards across different products.
A typical workflow begins with defined sample collection, followed by enrichment under controlled conditions. Analysts then apply selective and differential culture media to recover and distinguish potential targets, use biochemical tests for characterization, and add molecular confirmation when appropriate. Each stage narrows the interpretation from a product sample to evidence concerning a specific microorganism or hazard.
BAM procedures support routine food-safety testing as well as examination of cosmetics and other products for microbial hazards. They also provide a common analytical foundation during contamination investigations and outbreak response. In research and regulatory settings, laboratories can use the methods to evaluate microbial risks, compare analytical performance, and support decisions intended to protect consumers.
