The pipette aspiration testing technique is considered, and the elastic half-space model, which was originally introduced in the isotropic incompressible case, is revisited and generalized for the case of transverse isotropy. Asymptotic solutions are obtained in the two limiting cases of a wide and a narrow pipette.

The effect of pipette- and laser-induced blastocyst collapse before vitrification on their re-expansion and clinical outcome after warming.

Research Question: What are the effects of pipette- versus laser-assisted artificial blastocyst collapse (ABC) on the morphokinetics of warmed blastocyst re-expansion, and what is the potential effect on treatment outcomes?
Design: Surplus blastocysts were extracted from 203 patients. These were divided into three groups: study group A, artificial collapsed by the aspiration of blastocoel fluid with a pipette; study group B, trophectoderm opened with a laser pulse; control group, no manipulation before vitrification was performed. During the 5-year study period, 257 associated single-warm blastocyst transfers were scheduled.
Optimization of a disposable pipette tips extraction (DPX) for the analysis of psychoactive substances in sweat specimens using Design of Experiments.

Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) continue to emerge in the marketplace and are often found as substances in traditional illicit drug materials, and users are often unaware of the presence of other drugs. The proper identification and confirmation of the exposure to a drug is made possible when a biological specimen is collected and tested. Sweat is an alternative biological matrix of great interest for clinical, and forensic analysis.

Drug abuse is a social issue worldwide, and there is an increasing demand for on-site rapid detection of illicit drugs. In this study, a rapid and simple analytical method for the detection of 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM), methamphetamine (MA), methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), ketamine (K), norketamine (NK), and cocaine (COC) in urine was developed. The developed method combines C18 pipette-tip based solid-phase extraction (C18 PT-SPE) with a miniaturized mass spectrometer (miniMS), exhibiting remarkable simplicity, high sensitivity, and strong reliability, compared with the conventional method.

This study delineates the development of a novel automated pipette-tip solid-phase extraction (SPE) methodology, employing kapok fiber as a naturally efficient and cost-effective adsorbent for the selective extraction of eleven tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) from plasma. The uniqueness of this method lies in its assembly, where kapok fibers are ingeniously wrapped around a stainless-steel spring within the pipette tip, ensuring an obstruction-free central space for effortless solution aspiration and dispensation. This design significantly minimizes backpressure, enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring compatibility with pipettors, including the implementation of an electric pipettor to streamline the sample preparation process and facilitate automation.

Herein, a micro-solid-phase extraction (SPE) method was developed using a pipette tip for rutin extraction, employing activated hollow carbon nanospheres (HCNSs) as the sorbent. Characterization of the activated carbon nanospheres through TGA, FTIR, and SEM analysis confirmed the success of the activation process. The study demonstrated the efficacy of PT-SPE in rutin extraction under pH 2 conditions with a standard concentration of 2 mg·L.
