This suggests that spectral index is more sensitive than spectral count for infrequently observed peptides.
Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measures long-lived radioisotopes such as C for geochronology, environmental, and biological/biomedical applications at attomole (amol, 10−18) to zeptomole (zmol, 10−21) level sensitivity,(1) which makes AMS several orders of magnitude more sensitive over liquid scintillation counting.
Therefore, an assay of infectious centers (IC) on mosquito cells was chosen instead of a traditional mammalian cell plaque assay because this assay is more sensitive and facilitates direct counting of plaque areas produced by DV2 mutants that are not detected by a typical plaque assay.
Therefore, it is conceivable that MPV is more sensitive to prognosis than platelet count when this population is taken into account.
The direct comparison of both methods, by the use of the same preparation of 4 points of 10-fold serial dilutions of an insertless phage [5] and a phage displaying an RGD-4C peptide targeting αv integrins [6]-[9], showed that qPhage is at least 5-fold more sensitive than the conventional TU-counting.
In their study, the NLCR was a more sensitive parameter than raised WBC count [ 13].
Earlier, Goodman and colleagues had already shown that a so-called neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio provided a more sensitive parameter than the leucocyte count in the prediction of appendicitis [ 13].
The [3H]-TdR incorporation assay is more sensitive and reproducible than the colony counting assay when performed on samples containing a large number of initially seeded tumour cell aggregates.
Again, genomic hit count is a more sensitive quality measure than base percentage change or the vendor provided quality score.
However, the magnitude of quality difference across different panels is greatly magnified in the genome hit plot, suggesting that the final genome hit count is a more sensitive measure for detecting quality issues in sequencing assays.
