The phrase "a reference for normalization" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing standards, guidelines, or benchmarks for normalizing data or processes.
Example: "In our analysis, we will use a reference for normalization to ensure consistency across all datasets."
Alternatives: "a standard for normalization" or "a benchmark for normalization".
An amplicon derived from the small-subunit rRNA was used as a reference for normalization (primer pair SSU-f/SSU-r) according to Pöggeler et al. [63].
An atlas, in its different forms, can be used as a reference for normalization of a group of individuals, a probability map for defining tissue prior distribution, or a spatial map for brain parcellation.
ACT1 was used as a reference for normalization.
Genomic DNA was used as a reference for normalization.
A cDNA from hydroxymethylbilane synthase was used as a reference for normalization.
PP2A gene, corresponding to At1g13320 (primers PP2a-F and PP2a-R) was used as a reference for normalization [ 44].
18S RNA was chosen as a reference for normalizations (forward primer: 5′-CGGCTACCACATCCAAGGAA-3′, reverse primer: 5′-GCTGGAATTACCGCGGCT-3′). PCRs were carried out in 20 μl with 300 nM of each primer and with the following temperature profile: 50°C for 2 min, 95°C for 10 min and 40 cycles of 95°C for 15 s and 60°C for 1 min. All samples were amplified in duplicate.
Please note, however, that the peak at 500 nm of the impregnated PSi 1 sample, being clearly due to signal noise, has not been used as a reference for the normalization.
A control probe of Cy5 labelled was used as a reference for data normalization.
The synthesized cDNA was then measured for cv-lysozyme 3 cDNA using semi-quantitative PCR, with the oyster 28 S rRNA as a reference for sample normalization.
Positive staining of mGluR6 was used as a reference for the normalization of the recorded fluorescence intensity in the channel containing RGS7 protein.
