Since the InP specimen was highly doped, the anodic etching proceeded in the dark.
Since results for this specimen were highly inconsistent, we suspect some form of sample contamination but cannot identify the likely source.
In an effort to simplify proteinuria assessment and minimize false results, Ginsberg et al. [ 16] reported that the P/C ratio of a single-void ('spot') specimen was highly correlated with 24-h proteinuria.
The results show that the plastic response of the specimens is highly sensitive to the amount of restraint provided at the supports, particularly for the specimens with ends of the stiffeners free since they experience larger lateral deflections and, consequently, larger axial displacements at the supports.
Secondly, the nucleic acid quality within specific fixed specimens is highly dependent on a large number of parameters that can lead to the degradation of nucleic acids.
9 RAS mutational status of tumor tissue from endoscopic biopsies and matched resected specimens is highly concordant and the concordant rate is ≥97%.
Consequently, use of immunosorbent assays to measure protein expression in tissue specimens is highly desirable if the result can be properly interpreted.
Elastase 1 in the stool specimens is highly stable, and this test is noninvasive and more easily applied in various clinical situations [ 20], which is particularly important for critically ill patients in the ICU.
Routine door-to-door visits to every household in a community to identify febrile persons and then collect diagnostic specimens is highly sensitive but limited by cost and time considerations (4 ).
However, the number of differentially expressed genes in these biopsies with respect to normal thyroid tissue is relatively small, and gene expression between the four non-neoplastic specimens is highly homogenous, and very different from the expression profiles of the tumour biopsies.
