The phrase "a highly sensitive technique" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing a method or process that is particularly responsive to small changes or variations, often in scientific or technical contexts.
Example: "The researchers employed a highly sensitive technique to detect trace amounts of the substance in the samples."
Alternatives: "an extremely sensitive method" or "a very delicate approach."
In experienced and dedicated hands, high frequency US is a highly sensitive technique (sensitivity of 89% and PPV 98%); especially in patients without thyroid nodules [ 17].
While Artz et al. reported FISH to be a highly sensitive technique (sensitivity of 98.3%) for the detection of S. agalactiae directly in specimens [ 7], Strus and colleagues could not confirm this sensitivity [ 11].
Although noncontrast-enhanced MRI demonstrated lower specificity for detecting synovitis compared with contrast-enhanced MRI, meaning that signal intensity alterations do not always represent synovitis, it is also been found to be a highly sensitive technique (≈100% sensitivity) for synovitis detection [ 57].
Researchers analyzed toenail samples with plasma mass spectrometry, a highly sensitive technique for detecting trace elements.
13C-NMR spectroscopy is a highly sensitive technique that has been used for betulin characterization.
Optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS) is a highly sensitive technique that is capable of real-time monitoring of these interactions.
FISH is a rapid and highly sensitive technique and often is used to detect genetic abnormalities in embryos (preimplantation genetic diagnosis).
Quantitative PCR is a rapid and highly sensitive technique for accurate quantification of microarray results; however, careful consideration of experimental design, quality of primer/probe design, internal standards, and normalization procedures are pivotal, particularly when the work involves postmortem tissue.
The use of LacZ KI reporter to monitor expression is usually a reliable and highly sensitive technique for determining gene expression levels.
Compression ultrasonography is a non-invasive, highly sensitive technique for the diagnosis of symptomatic proximal DVT, and in many countries is now the technique of first choice for the diagnosis of DVT in clinical practice (Bressollette et al 2001; Zierler 2004; Blann and Lip 2006).
FDOT is a compact, fast, and highly sensitive technique for three-dimensional deep-tissue imaging of fluorescent targets.
