"in replicates of" is a valid phrase in written English.
It is usually used when referring to multiple instances of the same thing. For example, "The experiment was repeated in replicates of five trials".
Assays were repeated, each in replicates of N = 2.
Experiments were performed in replicates of at least six wells.
These experiments were done in replicates of two.
Assays were in replicates of N = 3, and were repeated.
All tests, and their respective control samples, were performed in replicates of three.
All experiments, unless otherwise stated, were conducted in replicates of at least N = 2 6 (with specific N values are denoted for each experiment) and were repeated at a separate time, also in replicates of N = 2 6.
Fourteen-day colony formation assays were conducted as described by us39, using human cord blood CD34+ stem cells (AllCells Inc ., using MethoCultExpress™ colony growth media (StemCell Technologies Inc ., performed in replicates of N = 2.
All tests, and their respective control samples, were performed in replicates of 3. Checkerboard assays37, 38 were performed in 96-well polystyrene plates, in order to unveil the synergistic effects of silver and transition metals.
Sera from each of the three immunized animals plus a pooled pre-immune control sample were therefore submitted to the National Center for Functional Glycomics (NCFG) and assayed on a printed glycan array consisting of 600 glycans in replicates of six (array version 5.3).
Pooled pre-immune sera and individual immune serum samples were screened at two dilutions (1 10 and 1 100) for glycan binding antibodies as per previously published protocols63, 64 at the National Center for Functional Glycomics on version 5.3 of a printed array of 600 glycans in replicates of six.
These experiments were done in replicates of two and the replicate data were analyzed using TopHat v1.4.1 and Cuffdiff v1.3.048 to map reads to a reference mouse genome assembly (mm9) and expression differences against the Ensembl release 67 gene model were determined.
