This was accomplished by employing highly skilled workers, and using unique batch formulas to produce colorful glass.
Folks who aren't into science fiction might not understand what was going on, but it's a unique batch of people.
Culture media consisted of Opti-MEM with GlutaMax (Invitrogen, Cergy, France) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum from a unique batch and 1% penicillin and streptomycin mix (10,000 U/mL).
A treatment pack with a unique batch number, patient identification number (PIN) and expiry date, containing either the nilvadipine or placebo capsules, will be dispensed to each participant at the baseline assessment (week 0) and subsequently at weeks 13, 26, 39, 52 and 65.
While other databases such as UniGene [ 36] or TIGR Gene Indices [ 37] also provide collections of clustered ESTs, the unique batch functionality of mapping results from other organisms to Xenopus laevis and retrieving their potential full length clones was not available before.
They'll send client companies unique batches of candidates that match their language and framework needs.
Given a chance, what flavour would you brew? "The inspiration lies somewhere between the need to explore and wanting to entertain," explains Stuart Howe, the head brewer at Sharp's Brewery, who is creating 52 unique small batch beers this year and chronicling them on his blog.
The study originated out of recent observations in international proficiency panels that the choice of serum is the leading cause for variability and sub-optimal assay performance, and the knowledge that each serum batch is unique and can potentially introduce unpredictable mitogenic, stimulatory, or suppressive factors to assay conditions.
By default, it is assumed the annotation file defines the sample batch; however, this can be updated by editing the annotation files to contain a 'Batch' column with unique identifiers for each respective batch within the dataset.
Each serum batch, however, is unique in its ability to support optimal assay resolution, and may potentially contain mitogenic or immune suppressive factors.
Besides the microdots, each batch also contains a unique combination of up to 30 compounds of rare-earth metals.
