The hook effect can be detected by analyzing serial dilutions.

Shaking the water at each stage of a serial dilution is claimed to be necessary for an effect to occur.

A common method of obtaining pure cultures is serial dilution.

Also prepare serial dilutions of the unknown sample to be measured.

Additional four, 10-fold or log serial dilutions are made to provide a total of five drug concentrations plus control.

In all cases, serial dilutions of viral supernatant were tested.

Heterophile antibody interference does not change linearly with serial dilution, but a true result will.

It also provides a means to calculate concentrations without calibrations curves or serial dilution of samples.

A serial dilution is the stepwise dilution of a substance in solution.

Quantitative binding parameters are obtained by using a serial dilution of the binding substrate.

Other options include the use of heterophile blocking reagents, steps to remove immunoglobulins, and serial dilutions.

Serial dilutions are widely used in experimental sciences, including biochemistry, pharmacology, microbiology, and physics.

In scientific and serial dilutions, the given ratio (or factor) often means the ratio to the final volume, not to just the solvent.

These values were compared with a standard curve of serial dilutions of a known concentration of activated enzyme.

First, a sample must be prepared through standard weighing and serial dilution, with stomaching and pH adjustment if necessary.

We therefore prepared serial dilutions where four control transcripts were spiked into a total RNA sample.

The hook effect is absent if the reported quantities of tumor marker in a serial dilution are proportional to the dilution.

When used in the context of tissue culture, host cells are plated and serial dilutions of the virus are added.

A 10-fold serial dilution of the circles ranging from 10 6to approximately one circle was used in the ERCA reactions.

Growth was measured by bacterial cell counts following serial dilutions on HEYM slants.

Serial dilution is also a cheaper and simpler method for preparing cultures from a single cell than optical tweezers and micromanipulators.

Titer testing employs serial dilution to obtain approximate quantitative information from an analytical procedure that inherently only evaluates as positive or negative.

Fresh eggs are incubated from the parasite of interest and serial dilutions of the drug of interest are applied.

The PCR outputs from serial dilutions (10 fold dilution between each step) were similar between the two samples (data not shown).

Serial dilution is one of the core foundational practices of homeopathy, with "succussion", or shaking, occurring between each dilution.
