Competitive screens were designed such that strains that are not resistant should get diluted out over the course of four dilutions every 5 generations.
Fortunately, the inhibitory effect can be diluted out and we recommend utilising a 50-100× dilutiof of tissue extracts (at the concentrations specified in the material and methods) prior to measurement of luciferase activity using a luminometer.
The rationale being that gene copy estimates per ml original sample would be higher using the diluted versus undiluted DNA extracts, as potential PCR inhibitors would be diluted out (Stults2001).
The working solution of extracts (100 μg/mL) were diluted out across a 96-well in a two-fold serial dilution to give final testing concentrations of 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.12, 1.56 and 0.78 μg/mL.
"The level of antibodies vary greatly within Ebola disease survivors, so if there is no pre-selection of the plasma to be used then the efficacy signal may be diluted out".
Clearly, type III non-target products were also readily diluted out by the SWPOP primer used in the next round of PCR.
However, the young age of elite athletes in general and the wide range of sports included in this study may have diluted out other potential confounders.
It was believed that e.g. sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) cannot proliferate and are diluted out in flow-through systems if conditions do not allow for sulfate reduction.
In a normal population this condition would be diluted out, but in the tightly-knit European royals it emerged again and again.
This "would almost certainly mask, or at least effectively reduce, any possible effect of the [GM soy]." They concluded, "It is therefore highly likely that all GM effects would have been diluted out".
Because cell division is synchronized in the simulations, XiXi cells are diluted out after every cell division.
