The phrase "a printing batch" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a specific quantity of printed materials produced at one time, often in the context of manufacturing or publishing.
Example: "The company decided to run a printing batch of 1,000 brochures for the upcoming event."
Alternatives: "a print run" or "a production batch".
Consequently, investigators typically only examine one or a few representative slides to access the quality of a printed batch.
To check for plate rotations in a print batch, we compare an array sample (A1, A2, A3, A4 in the example) from the print batch in question to a control sample of arrays (B, C, D, E in the example) selected from several distinct print batches.
In this example we compare four arrays A1, A2, A3 and A4 from a particular print batch A to four other arrays B, C, D and E from four other distinct print batches.
To minimize variability, all microarrays were from the same printing batch.
Another two hybridizations were performed using poly(A)+ RNA isolated from BC2 total RNA three months later and a different print batch of microarrays.
That sounds obvious, but traditional printing batches were almost always below capacity because each customer ordered individually with little option for batching.
The total number of 384 well microtiter plates in print batch A is 113.
The reproducibility of response of a sample of sensors from each print batch was determined using square wave voltammetry (SWV) with 1 mM OX1006 in 0.4 M sodium carbonate buffer (pH 10.8), 0.23 M NaCl, 0.0018 % TX-100.
However, even after these standard normalization steps, hierarchical clustering indicated a persistent batch effect due to array print batch combined with the channel in which the universal reference sample was.
All repeats clustered next to the first sample run irrespective of the differences in print batch (data not shown), hence replicate assays were merged in a weighted fashion, as previously described [ 58].
