In addition, at least 5 major manufacturers now provide an array of probes designed for arthroscopic application.
To address this problem, we developed a methodology to design a probe and an array of probes with better resolution and less resistive donut probe.
Since the data rate per probe is low, IBM's approach is to use an array of probes to be competitive with other technologies, Albrecht explains.
Multiplexed assay systems that employ an array of probes each identified with a molecular code, referred to as liquid or solution arrays, provide an alternative to solid support arrays and may overcome some of their disadvantages.
The chromosome 6 data were obtained using a 94 kb resolution tiling path array, whereas the genome wide data were obtained using an array of probes (mean size 150 kb) spaced at 1 Mb intervals.
Our data illustrate that a non-invasive transcriptome analysis done in PBMCs with an array of probes devoid of a specific selection towards the disease under study enables the efficient prediction of treatment responsiveness.
This technology has distinct advantages over microarrays including the sensitive detection of all expressed genes without the need to generate an array of probes based on known sequence, virtually no background noise and a much higher dynamic range.
It has also led to the discovery of previously unidentified transcripts such as the recent discovery of enhancer RNA, a novel RNA species [ 15] and as the transcriptome is being sequenced, alternative splicing [ 16], single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) [ 17], transcriptional fusions and chimeric transcripts [ 18] can be detected without the need to design an array of probes.
In order to have a diagnostic of the toroidal field, some measurements of magnetic field inside the flow have been taken at a single point using an inserted hall probe (in addition to the external field measurements made by an array of hall probes just outside the experiment).
Time series of conductance measurements, obtained with an array of eight probes flushed to the reactor wall, are analyzed using tools borrowed from the theory of non-linear dynamics and symbolic dynamics.
