Hospitals performed routine cell counts, chemistries, and bacterial cultures of CSF for patients with sufficient specimen quantity.
Cell sorting was not possible for these CP samples because of insufficient specimen quantity received (<0.5 g) for MACS.
To determine an appropriate specimen quantity to achieve an adequate power of 80% and a defined significance level of 5% (p < 0.05), the number of participants was determined to be 38 (in anticipation of a dropout rate of 10%).
Compared to untreated specimen, the quantity of precipitated phases at grain boundaries was increased while the size of the precipitates was smaller and the distribution was more uniform after CT-2.
Using qPCR, anaerobes were detected frequently from CF airway specimens, in quantities similar to that of typical CF associated pathogens.
Upon completion, the specimens' available quantity is updated and flags are set to indicate that the specimens have been distributed.
The specimen contained large quantities of blood clots.
In addition, a few tested specimens might provide inconclusive results because of a low quantity specimen.
Specimens producing copious quantities of milk may be used to add color to marinades.
Staphylococcus aureus was detected less frequently by qPCR, particularly from oropharyngeal swabs and from sputum specimens with low quantities of S. aureus by quantitative culture (<105 cfu/ml).
