Patient and normal data were reconstructed with iterative reconstruction with correction for attenuation, scatter and septal penetration (ACSC), the same reconstruction without corrections (IRNC), and filtered back-projection (FBP) with data quantified using small volume-of-interest (VOI) (BRASS) and large VOI (Southampton) analysis methods.
Flow technologies are particularly well suited to high-throughput optimisation applications; using small volumes of materials to investigate a wide range of parameters such as co-former [42], concentration [34] and reaction time [38].
In the examples of SLM applications presented in this chapter, the possibility to separate high quantities of compounds using small volumes of organic phases shows that this method is still a very attractive choice when an efficient and selective method is necessary.
Plastic microwell plates are now routinely used in laboratories to perform assays using small volumes of samples and reagents.
Therefore, it is important to develop an assay that could perform longitudinal biomonitoring of PFCs using small volumes of blood, preferably using a finger prick.
This system also has the advantage of using small volumes of blood from as little as 0.1 mL to 10 mL.
Studies using small volumes of dye applied to the tongue have demonstrated low aspiration rates of 20% with HVLP cuffs [ 12].
Setting a minimum sample size at the milligram level allows for replicates and multiple time points using small volumes of algal cultures.
The pH of the dissolved NMR samples was further adjusted to neutral when necessary, using small volumes of DCl or NaOD (<5 μl).
Using small volumes of peripheral blood, our assays comprised of measurement of MtDNA content, and mRNA content of various mitochondrial-encoded and nuclear-encoded mRNAs including genes encoding various mitochondrial subunits, involved in biogenesis, fusion, fission and mitophagy.
SELDI offers the advantages of rapid, high throughput screening using small volumes of clinical samples, and includes rapidity and reproducibility in the screening of protein expression profiles (also known as 'phenomic fingerprints').
