Sentence examples for specificity of techniques from inspiring English sources

This has several reasons, including insufficient specificity of techniques for localization and quantification of MMP expression/activity, extensive regulation of MMPs at transcriptional, translational and post-translational level, low samples sizes and interindividual variability in MMP expression [ 28] and the limitations of in vitro and in vivo animal models.

Current methods are insufficient; therefore, it is necessary to develop a novel procedure including new extraction, cleanup, separation, and storage methods that minimize artifacts and increase the speed, sensitivity, and specificity of analytical techniques, as well as new techniques that can distinguish between abundant, naturally occurring particles and manufactured nanoparticles.

Sensitivity and specificity data is summarised in table 4. Specificity of all techniques was 100% (n = 80/80).

Other explanations for the discrepancies in microchimerism results are differences in experimental designs and the sensitivity and specificity of the techniques used by different investigators [18].

The absence of DAT expression was not due to a lack of specificity of the techniques used since SN neurons serving as positive control were clearly positive for DAT-IR (Fig. 8A), DAT binding (Fig. 8D) and DAT mRNA expression (Fig. 8G).

Sensitivity and specificity of both techniques will be calculated with their respective 95%% confidence intervals.

The sensitivity and specificity of both techniques were compared using the Fisher's exact test.

Due to the specificity of PTT techniques, the healthy surrounding tissues are rarely damaged.

The sensitivity and specificity of molecular techniques compared to conventional methods of drug resistance testing was reported [ 23, 26, 49– 55].
