Hair growth rate determinations using the method described by Saito et al. [ 29] are provided with some frequency in the literature, yet the method described by Dawber [ 30] of etching the nail for determining toenail growth rates is less often provided.
At the end of each experiment, a blood sample from each rat was collected for further plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) determination, using the enzymatic method and the turbidimetric immunoinhibition method, respectively (Bangkok RIA Laboratory Co. Ltd ,Bangkok, Thailand).
For a future Moon landing, a concept for an in-situ NAA involving age determination using the 40Ar 39Ar method is developed.
Preliminary results of transference number determination using the Hittorf method suggest that transport of zinc in a concentration gradient is augmented by motion of neutral ionic complexes.
The resistance level was further evaluated by Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) determination using the microdilution method (Figure 3B).
In contrast, the technical error of a metabolite pool size determination using the same method is about one order of magnitude higher, in the range of 5 20% RSD [40].
In the laboratory, water samples were prepared for nitrate determination using the cadmium reduction method and samples for TP analysis were prepared using the acid persulfate digestion method.
Aliquots of each fraction were taken for refractive index measurement and protein determination using the Kaplan-Pedersen method (38).
The apparent viscosity of the assumed pseudo-liquid was set to 2.31 Pa · s according to the determination using the torque measurement method.
An aliquot of suspension was taken for microsomal protein determination using the Bradford assay method [ 47] with BSA as the standard.
The robustness of this observation is limited to some degree by the fact that receptor status was unknown for a significant proportion of patients, in part because some of these cases were diagnosed before routine receptor testing and in part because the small size of some tumors prevented receptor determination using the dextran-coated charcoal method in use at the time.
