The phrase "a diluent control" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to chemistry, pharmaceuticals, or any field where a diluent is used to control the concentration of a solution.
Example: "In the experiment, we used a diluent control to ensure the accuracy of our measurements."
Alternatives: "a solvent control" or "a dilution control".
Growth was shown as a percentage of diluent control and changes in growth were considered significant at P<0.01.
The allergen panel consisted of 10 common allergens (Dermatophagoides farinae, cat, German cockroach, short ragweed, perennial rye, Alternaria alternata, Bermuda grass, Russian thistle, white oak and peanut) and a negative (glycerinated diluent) control.
Each assay run also included a positive and negative antibody (virus + diluent) control.
One individual from this sample reacted to the diluent control solution (0.6%), defined as a resistance difference of > 30% baseline [ 9] and was excluded together with non evaluable data from 27 subjects.
Obligate carnivores consumed over 10 times the amount of a 3% (the highest concentration tested) HC than the water diluent control [17], which is consistent with the hypothesis that ingestive response to protein hydrolysates is related to the typical proportion of animal products in the diet.
Daily treatment with the MET inhibitor SU11274 caused statistically significant interval retardation of the xenograft tumour growth of H1975 cells with a ninefold reduction (P=0.0251) in the xenograft growth, when compared with the diluent control, during the treatment period.
In live cells representative region of interest was captured before and subsequent to addition of a 1 ml solution of 10 μM disulfiram, sodium pyrithione (positive control) or diluent control.
Results: Immunostaining of bronchial biopsy specimens showed no changes in the numbers of eosinophils, neutrophils, basophils, mast cells, CD3+, CD4+ or CD8+ T cells, CD25+ cells or macrophages, or cells mRNA+ for IL-4, IL-5, or IL-13 when the FC1P day was compared with the diluent control day.
One week following tumor inoculation, mice were treated with diluent, control vaults or mCCL21-vaults via transthoracic injection.
The diluent control inoculum for the M. avium ATCC 25291 appears to exhibit completely inhibited growth (Figure 2: Bottom left graph, left hand column).
