This procedure is extremely sensitive, as even minute quantities of parasite DNA can be amplified into a detectable quantity if the number of cycles is sufficiently high.
At stake in the case argued today, United States v. Cotton, No. 01-687, is a relatively small number of cases, perhaps fewer than 100, in which major drug defendants whose cases were still open on appeal at the time of the Apprendi ruling had received more than the ordinary 20-year maximum sentence that applies to those found guilty of trafficking in "any detectable quantity" of narcotics.
When detected, an expected value minimum detectable quantity of fresh human feces (wet weight) present on hands and in stored water in this setting (extrapolating theoretically from performance testing by Odagiri), corresponds to 3.82⋅10−1 mg/2 hands and 3.80⋅10−4 mg/mL, respectively.
We then estimated the minimal detectable quantity of cells expressing miRFP670nano.
After day 7, detectable quantity of ALP was observed on all nanoporous surfaces.
Very low solubility of Cd and its inability to form complexes with organic matter might be responsible for very low or below detectable quantity of Cd in the runoff sediments.
No detectable quantity of aflatoxin could be measured in 100× concentrated extracts from the mushrooms of P. ostreatus cultivated on AFB1-contaminated maize, regardless of the strain of P. ostreatus used or the initial level of AFB1 in the initial substrate.
The lowest detectable quantity of IGF-I was 0.01 ng tube−1.
The index of internalization of chitosan was calculated as the percentage age of PMNs that internalized any visually detectable quantity of RITC-chitosan.
AAV- NDI1 appears to be well tolerated in rat brain and muscle as no detectable quantity of anti-Ndi1 antibody was present in sera 6 months post-injection.
Assuming all reactions are in the exponential amplification phase, this quantity should be directly proportional to the log-abundance of mRNA, plus an intercept term corresponding to the number of cycles it takes for the minimally detectable quantity of mRNA to cross threshold.
