Mean bias was 1.9 ng/mL, showing a good agreement between the two methods, confirmed by linear regression analysis (R: 0.94; YChromsystems = 1.15 XPerkinElmer − 8.44).
confirmed by both Illumina and Applied Biosystems sequencing pipelines, confirmed by transcriptome sequencing (see Methods), confirmed by PCR directed sequencing [ 6], confirmed by realignment of Celera raw reads (see SNP Databases in Methods), or supported by imputed SNPs [ 24].
When the difference between the proposed method and the conventional method was confirmed by Welch's t test, the values of the corresponding conventional method are italicized.
The accuracy of the proposed method was confirmed by performing standard addition method (spike recovery experiments, that is, spiking the samples with known amount of the standard).
The accuracy of the method was confirmed by parallel analyses by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry as the reference method.
The benefits of Rusk's method were confirmed by experimental demonstrations, and the U.S. Army and Navy soon implemented versions of it in their medical facilities.
Therefore, reproducibility of the method was confirmed by performing ISR.
The specificity of the method was confirmed by sequencing.
The effectiveness of the method is confirmed by computer simulations.
