For example, serial dilutions across the rows is described, but some laboratories use an alternate orientation and perform dilutions down the columns instead.
12.
Better still, the nonsense about doing serial dilutions and " succussing " would convince both the doctor and the patient that the treatment should work.
13.
In general, quantification by qPCR relies on serial dilutions of standards of known concentration being analyzed in parallel with the unknown samples for calibration and reference.
14.
In scientific and serial dilutions, the given ratio ( or factor ) often means the ratio to the final volume, not to just the solvent.
15.
Similarly, the starting dilution, serial dilution factor, incubation times, and choice of U or V-bottom plate can depend on the specific laboratory.
16.
Other options include the use of heterophile blocking reagents, steps to remove immunoglobulins, serial dilutions and using non-mammalian capture and / or detection antibodies.
17.
Furthermore, printing each sample, on the chip in serial dilution ( colorimetric ) provides an internal control to ensure analysis is performed only in the linear dynamic range of the assay.
18.
In homeopathy, serial dilutions ( called potentisation ) are often taken so far that by the time the last dilution is completed, no molecules of the original substance are likely to remain.
19.
In quantitative ELISA, the optical density ( OD ) of the sample is compared to a standard curve, which is typically a serial dilution of a known-concentration solution of the target molecule.
20.
Alternatively, K d can be calculated from a gel mobility shift assay in which the same purified protein is incubated with serial dilutions of gel-purified, 32P-end-labelled target oligonucleotide.
