The phrase "a detectable number of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a quantity or amount that can be observed or measured in a specific context.
Example: "The experiment revealed a detectable number of anomalies in the data set."
Alternatives: "a measurable amount of" or "an observable quantity of".
Thus, even coupled with some employment reductions, living wages can lift a detectable number of families above the poverty line.
Based on a previous study [10], it was expected that not all baseline microbiological samples would yield a detectable number of cultivable bacteria ([10], 19 out of 79 = 24% of samples showed no bacterial growth).
Of the nineteen specimens, all specimens contained ESA+ cells (Figure 5C); however, only eleven specimens contained a detectable number of CD133+ cells (Figure 5D) and fifteen contained CXCR4+ cells (Figure 5E).
However, given the possibility of a detectable number of false positives resulting from environmental contamination we think studies investigating this issue are urgently warranted, especially as this potential source of contamination could easily be mistaken as endogenous DNA.
In addition, not all samples with ≥6% promoter methylation may be endowed with a detectable number of hypermethylated alleles, which is required to validate epimutations.
In 3 out of 18 patients (nos. 201, 401 and 402), we found a detectable number of PSA-reactive T cells before treatment (see Table 2).
Let us set Nc = 109 as a critical detectable number of cells for a tumor detection.
And no previous particle accelerators were powerful enough to produce a reliably detectable number of Higgs bosons, which are predicted to have a mass between 114 GeV and 184 GeV.
These lymphocytes were defined as non-switched (IgM+ IgD+) memory B cells based on the findings that they express the putatively memory B cell marker CD27 [ 2], and harbor IGV genes exhibiting a low but detectable number of somatic mutations, an event classically restricted to post-germinal center (GC) memory B cells [ 2, 9].
A plausible interpretation for these findings is that the trans-splicing machinery generates a low, but detectable number of events in which the mini-exon is misplaced.
Interestingly, Y27632 treatment even in osteogenic differentiation medium resulted in a small but detectable number of cells that produced lipid droplets staining positive for Oil Red O (supplementary material Fig. S1).
