Bleach-sedimentation has been hypothesised to concentrate acid-fast bacilli in sputum specimens and in support of this hypothesis a recent meta-analysis reported that bleach-sedimentation caused a 9% increase in tuberculosis diagnostic sensitivity compared to conventional smear-microscopy [ 13].
In pathology, the plastic storage cylinder, designed for processing and microtomy with biopsy specimens in situ, supports rapid diagnosis by frozen section and microwave or routine paraffin processing.
Many of the scientific questions and uncertainties associated with these components are discussed, and the role for biomarkers and specimen banking in supporting these activities are assessed.
We collaborate with other collections to make our data accessible, and loan specimens internationally to qualified scientists in support of fungal science.
High values of N⊗ recorded in the laminates and in plain specimens also support high-cycle conditions.
Gene sequences generated directly from RPM-Flu assays may specify determinants of particular target pathogen phenotypes (virulence, drug resistance, host range, etc)., or support forensic queries of identity of detected strains in different specimens, or support genome diversity-based epidemiological tracking in the course of an infectious disease outbreak.
Lesions (wounded or diseased areas) on the horns, frill, and face of Triceratops specimens have been cited as evidence in support of the defensive and offensive nature of the animal's cranial ornamentation [1] [7].
We sampled DNA barcode loci for 355 Crataegus specimens in the Royal Ontario Museum Green Plant Herbarium (TRT; Supporting Information—Table S1 ; BOLD doi 10.5883/DS-NAMCRAT), selectedoi 10.5883/DS-NAMCRAT
Though one individual of albomaculatus (SA76223) groups with brachyrhinus and brichardi in the concatenated tree (Fig. 3), support values are low and the same individual groups with other albomaculatus specimens in the mitochondrial tree with high support, suggesting ILS as a possible cause of the discordance.
Two types of boundary conditions (simply supported (SS) and a fully fixed (FF)) were adopted to support the LVI specimens in the test fixture.
