    abstract = {Preparing biological tissue samples is an extremely tedious 
  and time-consuming laboratory task, albeit one critical for rapid diagnoses 
  of infectious diseases. Here, researchers reported a novel, low-cost sampling 
  technique for rapid and accurate removal of minute tissue portions from various 
  animal organs. Each sampled tissue portion could be easily dispersed and homogenized 
  in storage solution in 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tube and was sufficient for the 
  molecular diagnosis of the presence or absence of infectious disease using the 
  Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. This new sampling technique is beneficial 
  as it provides both uniformity for high-throughput sampling and minimization 
  of cross-contamination.}
