  Needle aspiration biopsy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Needle aspiration biopsy (NAB), also known as fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and fine needle aspiration (FNA), is a procedure performed to diagnose certain kinds of medical conditions, such as lumps in the neck.
Fine needle aspiration biopsies are very safe, minor surgical procedures.
After the needles are placed into the mass, cells are withdrawn by aspiration with a syringe and placed into a special container.

It was hoped that by combining the methods of area of mammographic density and NAF cytology might separate women at highest risk from those at lowest risk, and would be of particular usefulness in premenopausal women with dense breasts, and women with a family history of breast cancer, or a prior benign biopsy.

The dispenser 12 is used to aspirate a predetermined quantity of fluid or reagent from a source or receptacle 29 and dispense a predetermined quantity, in the form of droplets or a spray pattern, of the source fluid onto or into a target 30.
As a result, a large volume of excess reagent is required to be aspirated in order to mitigate these effects and to assure that reagent volumes are dispensed at full reagent concentration.
For effective and accurate dispensing of aspirated fluid the system pressure is preferably raised from the reduced or negative value to a positive dispense steady state andlor predetermined value.

Aspirate out PBS with pipetmen: use 1ml tip to remove 750 ml, then 200ml gel loading tip to remove 150 ml.
Be very careful not to aspirate out beads; this is especially true if immunoprecipitation will be used for quantitation.
Note: This is the harshest elution, and will also elute any non-covalently bound Abs and Ab fragments, which will appear in the gel and make western blotting a nightmare (for Coomassie staining, this is usually not a problem).

Coronavirus-positive nasopharyngeal aspirate as predictor for severe acute respiratory syndrome mortality.
The RT-PCR–positive patients had significantly more shortness of breath, a lower lymphocyte count, and a lower lactate dehydrogenase level; they were also more likely to have bilateral and multifocal chest radiograph involvement, to be admitted to intensive care, to need mechanical ventilation, and to have higher mortality rates.
The sensitivity of the RT-PCR for coronavirus in nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA) samples ranges from 32% to 50% at the beginning of an illness and in stool samples is 97% at a mean of 14.2 days (2,3).

 The Mavens' Word of the Day
I checked with a friend in the medical field, who explained that to aspirate was essentially to inhale fluid into the lungs.
Aspire, aspirate and aspiration all have embodied in their origins the idea of "breath" and/or "breathing." They--and similar words such as inspire, respire and conspire--can be traced back to the same Latin root "spirare" 'to breathe, respire, to be breathed upon or into'.
Aspire and aspiration are siblings while aspirate might be called their cousin.
