The phrase "assay rules" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to scientific testing, particularly in chemistry or biology, where specific guidelines or protocols for conducting assays are discussed.
Example: "Before beginning the experiment, make sure to review the assay rules to ensure accurate results."
Alternatives: "testing protocols" or "analysis guidelines".
The no-template-DNA control run with each assay ruled out contamination in commercial DNA isolation columns and PCR reagents; in addition, contamination of human DNA samples by FLK DNA was ruled out by testing human DNA with sheep-specific primers (11 ), and contamination of FLK with other cell lines, including human, was ruled out by using species-specific primers (11 ).
The plasma levels of 97 cytokines were measured using microsphere-based immunomultiplex assays (Rules Based Medicine, Austin, TX, USA) at baseline and up to week 12. Sample collection and data analysis are detailed in the Supplementary Information.
Plant assays ruled out an effect of aluminum toxicity on seed germination and seedling development in termite mounds over control soil.
Post-prime media control assays ruled out significant cytokine carry-over from initial TLR-ligand stimulations.
Identical behavior of these mutants in CD and fluorescence measurements as well as limited proteolysis assays ruled out the possibility of global conformational changes induced upon mutagenesis as the cause for the variations in the kinetic and binding parameters.
Our in vitro assays rule out the possibility that these changes are due to unusual mechanical properties of the C. elegans genome [ 50].
Regardless, these assays rule out a nonspecific effect on membrane integrity or alterations of ion gradients as being the basis for CHT inhibition.
After molecular and serologic diagnostic assays ruled out several well-known human pathogens (e.g., filoviruses, arenaviruses, phleboviruses, flaviviruses, and rickettsiae) as the cause of the patient's illness, a next-generation sequence approach was followed to detect a possible new infectious agent.
When setting up ASH-based genotyping assays some rules of thumb have been established to ensure the likelihood of obtaining a functional assay.
