"control bait" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is commonly used in contexts related to scientific research and experiments, especially in the field of biology. Example: "The researchers added control bait to the experimental setup to ensure that any changes observed were solely due to the effect of the new drug."
The palatability of different batches of bait was evaluated against a standardised palatable control bait using captive badgers.
The pGBKT7 vector was the negative control bait.
Each of these 12 proteins shows strong enrichment at the telomere versus control bait in all replicates (Fig. 1c).
L-photo-leucine-bearing wild-type bait peptide (WTb) or control bait peptide (N9Kb) was dissolved in DMSO in dark.
After measurement of each individual pull-down, we employed label-free quantitative analysis empowered by MaxLFQ [ 14] to obtain enrichment values between target and control bait.
The isolated plasmids (prey) with unique gene products were co-transformed back into the positive bait (prestin or cdh23) and the control bait pMBV-Alg5 (Alg5-bait), respectively.
The six chemicals, when used in baits in a bedbug-infested residential apartment, trapped seven times more bedbugs than control baits without chemicals and did not discriminate between bedbug gender, age, or physiological condition.
Nevertheless, we have observed that extremely large colonies of T. sessile in urban environments dominate the urban landscape and control baits in the presence of several aggressive invasive ant species, including Solenopsis invicta and Tetramorium caespitum (personal observation).
A two-sided t-test with 250 randomizations was performed between the four replicates of the telomeric bait against the four replicates of the control baits.
To detect proteins that specifically interact with the C-terminal tail of the 5-HT2C receptor, we performed differential analyses of 2-D gel protein patterns obtained with the GST902CSSV bait and two control baits: 1) GST alone and 2) GST fused to the C-terminal tail of the 5-HT2C receptor which was mutated on the C-terminal residue of the PDZ ligand (GST902CSSA).
During the first year of baiting, the prevalence in control and baited areas was similar, but during autumn 2001 the prevalence in baited areas was significantly lower (mean 2.1%; 95% CI 0.6%to5.2.2%) than in control areas (mean 7.3%; 95% CI 4.4%too 11.2%).
