As we will show below, the sensitivity of our method relays on the number of structures analyzed, so a method with high specificity in a single structure is desirable.
However, at low miRNA levels, particularly at 50/200 copies or below, the sensitivity of the miRCURY platform was significantly higher than for the TaqMan platform.
However, 241Am (τ = 432 years), also a product of man-made nuclear reactions, and a daughter product of 241Pu, was not detected in the STPs, but may be present at levels below the sensitivity of the method.
In our studies performed on pristine graphene flakes with similar size as the fluorinated graphene flakes, the intensity of the D peak is typically well below the sensitivity of our Raman setup, i.e. we are usually not able to detect any D peak because of the edges of the flakes.
Conversely, all naturally present radionuclides (other than 235U, which, if present in these STPs, would have levels below the sensitivity of the analytical method) with half-lives greater than 132 days were detected in some of the STPs examined in this work.
The initially high estimate of the spin down rate was also intriguing, as it implied a signal that could be directly detected by gravitational wave detectors, but the actual spin down rate put the expected signal below the sensitivity of current detectors.
Labeling at lower ratios produced virus preparations that were below the sensitivity of detection by the current Lumazone NIR imaging system.
GFP expression was below the sensitivity of the fluorometer (at 488 nm), therefore we stained cells with CFSE prior to seeding.
Preliminary edits resulted in 6,077 probes being discarded because they were expressed at levels below the sensitivity of the platform (i.e., negative signal to noise ratio) in all hybridizations.
GABP showed more divergence in the sensitivity of the different programs to qPCR verified sites, with Sole-Search, CisGenome, and SISSRS falling well below the sensitivity of other algorithms.
The absence of the UPC in females is difficult to prove, because an argument can always be made that it is present at a level below the sensitivity of the analytical technique used.
