The influence of freezing and later thawing of the thus obtained pool on commutability was tested on a Cobas 6000 (Roche), as described in the method section.
This suit will be the first suit tested in full vacuum conditions at Nasa's John Space Center in Houston, where it will also be tested in a pool and on a false Mars surface.
A total of 50 such EST markers were designed and tested on MTP pools and 43 of these (86 %) could be anchored to specific contigs.
A total of 16,727 high-confidence ISBP markers, which contain a unique non-repetitive sequence flanking the junction site of a repetitive element, were defined, of which 99 high-confidence ISBP markers were tested on MTP pools.
The QLQ-C30 algorithm by Versteegh et al. [ 8] was developed and tested on pooled data from two clinical trials for patients with multiple myeloma (pooled N = 723) and patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (pooled N = 789).
The twelve microsatellite loci tested on the synthetic pools were characterized by mean of penalized GLM analysis.
For sera from animals immunized with H1N1-based vaccines, VN was tested on pooled sera that had been heat-inactivated at 56 °C for 30 min.
Method precision was tested on three different plasma pools with a mean presepsin concentration of 327 pg/ml (range, 700 to 7,201 pg/ml), yielding within-series coefficients of variation (CVs) of 12.3%, 3.9% and 2.8%, respectively, as well as between-series CVs of 15.0%, 7.7% and 4.2%, respectively.
Control participants were drawn from an original pool of 70 total TD children tested on this task; this original TD pool had an above-average mean nonverbal IQ, necessitating the exclusion of those with the highest IQ to equate the mean IQ across groups.
Both PRPs (fresh and frozen) from each donor were tested on chondrocytes and synoviocytes, without pooling them.
A principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on preprocessed, log10[ x]-transformed and Pareto scaled data, using the package FactomineR of the software R. Preliminary tests were performed on a pool of 15 strains to determine the effect of varying the concentrations of lactose and potassium nitrate on the results of the tests (data not shown).
