The results show a tendency for the strength to decrease with increasing specimen volume for all failure modes.
Tests were performed by applying increments of confining pressure, temperature or pore pressure on the rock specimen, and measuring the changes in confining pressure, specimen volume and pore pressure.
These include: – Inadequate specimen volume: DBS have a limited amount of serum/whole blood available for testing.
However, there were 23 (19%) children who had unsuccessful collection of respiratory specimens due to dry cough/insufficient specimen volume and scheduling limitations between patients and physiotherapists.
We evaluated two immunoassay approaches, 25 °C starting temperature with finite (80 nL) specimen volume and 39 °C starting temperature with immunocomplex enrichment.
A proportion of children did not have all specimens collected for various reasons including: inadequate fasting for sputum induction, in adequate time available for sputum induction, dry cough/insufficient specimen volume, inability to produce urine during the outpatient encounter, and unsuccessful phlebotomy/insufficient specimen volume.
The spacing between single images in the three-dimensional stack was set to 2.2 µm and a total of 600 images were recorded per stack, covering a specimen volume of 379 × 379 × 1320 µm.
Finally, due to cost and specimen volume limitations, the current study did not measure lipids or apolipoproteins, so it cannot compare the predictive ability of LDL-P and HDL-P with lipids (LDL-C, HDL-C, non-HDL-C, etc).
Whelan et al. [ 49] investigated secretion capacity biomarkers, including total RNA (TXNRD1 mRNA, PSA mRNA, TMPRSS2 ERG fusion mRNA, and PCA3 mRNA) and specimen volume in expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) specimens before RP from patients who were eligible for AS based on National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines (n = 216).
To test the effect of sperm specimen volume in the freezing-thawing process on specimen quality.
The density of each specimen was then computed as: Density = Mass of specimen Volume of specimen.
