As a result, the miRNA was capable of being detected in a limit of 0.17 pM and other kinds of miRNA were discriminated facilely by this method.
While linear within its dynamic range and capable of measuring changes in expression levels, we discovered that only cultures bright enough to be visibly fluorescent under blue light transillumination were capable of being detected.
If an unobservable entity or property is putatively capable of being detected by means of a scientific instrument or experiment, one might think that this could form the basis of a defeasible argument for realism regarding it.
First, the minimal number of bacteria capable of being detected within the lungs is expected to be quite high, especially when compared to the inocula that are normally used in experimental M. tuberculosis infections.
There is also a large literature on neuroanatomic, neurochemical, and behavioral abnormalities caused by low doses of BPA (Leranth et al. 2008; Richter et al. 2007a), which also are not capable of being detected by current GLP studies conducted for regulatory purposes because of their out-of-date assays.
The SPR biosensor has been shown to be capable of directly detecting concentration of tetanus toxin as low as 0.028 Lf ml−1.
In addition, the AMD model was found to be capable of successfully detecting the onset of the transition from normal to misfire operation region.
According to the reflectivity changes and the signal-to-noise ratio, the new biosensor has been shown to be capable of directly detecting concentration of glucose as low as 0.5 ppm, which corresponds to a high resolution of 1.4×10−7 RI units.
In February, a similar device was reported to be capable of detecting liver disease in patients sitting several feet away.
The moth's antennas were said to be capable of detecting even a single pheromone molecule, and to Dr. Spitzer it seemed that its anatomy, with arrays of bristlelike sensory receptors along its length providing a huge amount of surface area, might have something to do with its sensitivity.
