More sensitive amplification, such as qualitative PCR, is needed to test specimens with viral load lower than 20 000 IU/ml.
Overall, the results indicated that the indirect qualitative outgrowth was a more sensitive method to detect the presence of viable organisms than the quantitative viability counting method.
As the technology advanced, the parameters in which hemodynamics were detected became more sensitive to retinal blood flow, beginning with qualitative observations of vessel caliber made with the ophthalmoscope and advancing to 3D retinal angiograms provided by OCT angiography.
Propagator ratios, in particular, are more sensitive to the mode of evolution than the qualitative shape of strain trees, which is reproduced by any model with selective sweeps.
The results, although qualitative, indicate that fluorescence was the more sensitive and faster method to discriminate between the two XR enzymes and their difference in NADH-catalyzed xylitol production and consequently their ability to affect the cytosolic NADH/NAD+ ratio.
This is in line with participant's qualitative post-study reports of being more sensitive to others, feeling more connected, secure and open and having "a bigger and more open heart".
54 58 There is a large body of evidence that supports qualitative morphology-based OCT data as more sensitive than measurements for detecting of CNV activity.
In addition, studies on adolescents of palliative patients could include more sensitive or disease-specific items, maybe by combining the qualitative and quantitative approach.
Since quantitative techniques are more sensitive to diagnose bilateral and mild unilateral hippocampal atrophy than qualitative techniques, these may reduce the need for invasive monitoring.
RNA-Seq has obvious advantages over existing methodologies such as enabling large-scale functional assignments of genes, more thorough qualitative and quantitative analysis of gene expression, more sensitive and accurate profiling of the eukaryotic transcriptome including non-model organisms [ 42– 42].
