The determination of the kinetic parameters using thermogravimetric data shows low cost when compared to prototypes used for the same objective and provides the same information using a small quantity of sample in the analysis.
The advantages of the InoDiag technique are speed of analysis, the need for only a small quantity of sampled serum (5 μl) and multiplexing [ 53].
In addition, PAS is simple to use, requires only a small quantity of sample for analysis, involves a minimum of preparation (samples are studied just as they are), and is also less susceptible to the reflectance and morphology of the sample.
Several advantages plead in favour of the development and implementation of MIA technology in reference laboratories: not only does it remove the need for level 3 biocontainment conditions to confirm flavivirus infections, but it only requires a small quantity of sample (1 μL) and is very quick (<3 hours compared to 3 6 days for flavivirus VNTs).
To further reduce overfitting and improve the performance with a small quantity of training samples, we firstly increase the training dataset by horizontal reflection and then learn MLeNet via combining both pre-training and fine-tuning.
In the powders sintered at 700 °C (Sample H), only hydroxyapatite (HAp) phase was present; when heated to 1100 °C, β-TCP was observed with HAp (Sample BH); at 1200 °C, the phase compositions included β-TCP and α-TCP, as well as a small quantity of HAp (Sample ABH); and at 1400 °C, the phases of samples included mainly α-TCP and HAp (Sample AH).
A small quantity of each sample was mounted in an acrylic transparent resin (Subiton, Laboratories S.A., Argentina).
The use of the multiplex real-time PCR Septifast® technique allows one to detect a wider number of pathogenic species and a faster response time than hemoculture, with a small quantity of blood sample (1 ml).
A small quantity of the CFTS sample was deposited on carbon-coated copper grids to avoid the interference between the Cu grid and the Cu from the sample in the energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis.
