This technique is used to measure the dilution of helicopter exhaust fumes at the roof-level air intakes near the heliports on top of the new American Stores Company Headquarters building in Salt Lake City, Utah.
In order to have information about the permeability of the paracellular pathway we measured the dilution potential generated when one half of the NaCl in the serosal solution was substituted with an equimolar amount of mannitol.
In order to estimate the approximate concentration of antibodies in an antiserum that have the same specificity as a given MAb isolated from mice immunized with the MCP, we measured the dilution of antiserum required to compete with the binding to gp120 of a biotinylated MAb, as compared with the MAb itself.
Another way of assessing antigenic distance is to measure the dilution of serum at which cross-reactivity disappears (K. J. Fairlie-Clarke, T. J. Lamb, J. Langhorne, A. L. Graham, and J. E. Allen, unpublished data).
We experimentally studied the effect of varying transcription rates on the repressilator network by measuring the range of dilution times that supported sustained oscillations.
The freshwater concentration of a beach sample measures the physical dilution due to the mixing of the stream flow with the marine water.
DNA pools were prepared using serial dilutions of the stock DNA and measuring the concentration after each dilution with the PicoGreen ds DNA Quantitation Reagent (Molecular Probes, Eugene, Oregon) on a Labsystems Ascent Fluoroscan (Life Sciences International, Basingstoke, UK).
Linearity of signal was determined by measuring the signal in a dilution series of plasma (two-fold serial dilution ranging from 1-4000 times).
Samples were first gated on viable lymphocyte population, and percentage of proliferating cells was determined by measuring the extent of CFSE dilution.
The critical micelle concentration (CMC) was determined by measuring the surface tensions of dilutions of isolated biosurfactant in distilled water up to a constant value of surface tension.
