Nonetheless, macerated specimens were sufficient for identifying the most important structures.
In patients <60 years with >14 days survival posthospitalization, paired acute-phase and convalescent-phase serum specimens were collected for identifying anti-H5 antibody.
To avoid such errors as best possible, the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry recommends that every testing laboratory have defined protocols in place for identifying specimens that have "hooked" [ 33].
This analysis established the potential of much smaller fragments, mini-barcodes, for identifying unknown specimens.
The 12S mini-barcodes resolve pigeon species and genera well and were originally designed to amplify for any bird species, making them a useful molecular tool for identifying bird specimens or remains with severely degraded and poorly preserved DNA.
Because of their speed, specificity and sensitivity, genomic assays are complementary to serological assays and especially useful for identifying an unknown specimen where antibodies are not specific enough to differentiate closely related groups [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22].
This example illustrates how in future this approach will be useful for identifying and characterizing specimens, which may have novel haplotype structures.

Noamesi from whose garden the R. vomitoria plant materials were collected, Mr Patrick Ekpe at the Herbarium of the Botany Department of the University of Ghana for identifying the plant specimens.
Therefore, MAb MUC1-014E may be of particular value for identifying these cells in resected specimens and biopsy specimens of stomach.
France has adopted a set of guidelines for identifying CRE in clinical specimens and fecal screening.
