The phrase "avoid batch effects" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to data analysis, particularly in fields like genomics or statistics, where variations in data collection can lead to misleading results.
Example: "To ensure the accuracy of our results, we must take steps to avoid batch effects during the experiment."
Alternatives: "eliminate batch variability" or "prevent batch discrepancies".
Within a given run, sections of all groups were processed simultaneously in order to avoid batch effects.
In order to avoid batch effects, we did not extract RNA until immediately prior to microarray hybridizations after all samples had been collected.
Although, the authors of the study from which the microarray data were obtained took care to avoid batch effects [33], we also extracted date information from the headers of the CEL files and found that there was some evidence, albeit very weak, of members of the same trio having similar processing dates (p = 0.05 from one-way ANOVA of sampling times against trio membership).
Extractions were randomized to avoid batch effects.
In all steps, care was exercised to avoid batch effects.
Normal and EC samples were analysed at the same time to avoid batch effects.
Paired samples (CRC and corresponding normal) were processed on the same chip, and all the 48 samples were processed on 4 chips (12 samples/chip) at the same time to avoid batch effect.
As per the study design, we processed both the CRC tissue and the corresponding adjacent normal sample from one individual in a single chip (one chip accommodates 12 samples) and all the four chips required to run a total of 48 samples were run in a single batch to avoid batch effect.
The primary way of avoiding batch effects is through careful experimental design.
For re-amplification with sPCR, we processed all sample-specific mPCR products in parallel for each amplicon to avoid batch processing effects.
Data in each Figure panel were obtained in parallel to avoid batch and autoxidative "aging" effects in stock solutions of dyes.
