Definition:

  • (n.) Example; pattern.
  • (n.) A part of anything presented for inspection, or shown as evidence of the quality of the whole; a specimen; as, goods are often purchased by samples.
  • (v. t.) To make or show something similar to; to match.
  • (v. t.) To take or to test a sample or samples of; as, to sample sugar, teas, wools, cloths.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Samples are hydrolyzed with Ba (OH)2, and the hydrolysate is passed through a Dowex-50 column to remove the salts and soluble carbohydrates.

  • (4) The proportion of motile spermatozoa decreased with time at the same rate when samples were prepared in either HEPES or phosphate buffers.
  • (5) However, this deficit was observed only when the sample-place preceded but not when it followed the interpolated visits (second experiment).
  • (6) Blood samples were analysed by mass spectroscopy and gas chromatography.
  • (7) Simplicity, high capacity, low cost and label stability, combined with relatively high clinical sensitivity make the method suitable for cost effective screening of large numbers of samples.

  • (9) Serum samples from 23 families, including a total of 48 affected children, were tested for a set of "classical markers."
  • (10) Confined placental chorionic mosaicism is reported in 2% of viable pregnancies cytogenetically analyzed on chorionic villi samplings (CVS) at 9-12 weeks of gestation.
