The phrase "a stringent tool" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a tool or method that is strict, precise, or rigorous in its application or effectiveness.
Example: "The new software serves as a stringent tool for ensuring compliance with industry regulations."
Alternatives: "a strict instrument" or "a rigorous resource."
The Food Safety Modernization Act provides the Food and Drug Administration with greater authority to prevent and control outbreaks of listeriosis and other foodborne infections through mandatory prevention controls and safety standards, more stringent tools for inspection and compliance, and an enhanced ability to remove contaminated foods from the food supply (e.g., mandatory recalls).
However, and despite this apparent variation, most of the enriched categories reported by the more stringent tools were included in the ones reported by those tools reporting a larger number of terms, demonstrating the utility of our study strategy.
10 The difference in endpoint occurrence was primarily driven by lower rates of MI in these patients and could be due to differences in medical care-seeking behaviour in lower-income countries or to the use of more sensitive and stringent tools to detect MI in higher-income countries.
On the other hand, successful preclinical use of a biological tool requires a stringent level of justification for the proposed use of the tool.
In our opinion, the DWTP's intrinsic complexity requires an innovative combined strategy, in which new and previously known tools (e.g. a stringent water filtration, HTS and bioinformatics) are used in an integrated analytic environment.
Consequently, by using a stringent study design and powerful analytical tools, we estimate that we were able to detect a 1.5-fold change at the 0.01 alpha level for 90% of the probes with at least 91% power.
While a simple BLAST Basic Local Alignment Search Tooll) search with a stringent e-value cut-off may identify a sequentially conserved subset of orthologs, other tools attempt to recognize orthology relationships in the event of low sequence conservation.
Comparing with other tools that focus either on spanning reads or on split reads, this is a stringent requirement.
For a stringent identification of processes and pathways involved in the transcriptional response to iron limitation, we employed two complementary statistical tools: standard enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes (EADEG) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA).
Of course this is a stringent view.
