Example sentences for: laboratory-to-laboratory
How can you use “laboratory-to-laboratory” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Some techniques have been useful for the identification and/or differentiation of Brucella species and biovars [ 1 6 7 23 24 ] , but few tools have been available for the epidemiological trace-back of new infections in livestock [ 1 2 3 4 5 ] . Except for biotyping, none of these more discriminating techniques has been universally accepted, probably because of concerns about laboratory-to-laboratory reproducibility.
Published methods include enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence-PCR (ERIC-PCR), and repetitive intergenic palindromic sequence-PCR (REP-PCR) [ 2 3 ] ; random amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR (RAPD-PCR) or arbitrary primed-PCR (AP-PCR) [ 4 5 ] ; and restriction fragment length polymorphism-PCR (RFLP-PCR) of the omp 2 locus [ 6 7 ] . ERIC-PCR and RAPD-PCR are both affected by assay conditions and environmental effects during the amplification process [ 8 9 10 ] . Although the results are highly reproducible within a laboratory, laboratory-to-laboratory reproducibility has been problematic and thus makes the universal application of these methods unlikely (compare [ 2 ] and [ 3 ] ). RFLP-PCR of the omp 2 locus is not constrained by issues of reproducibility and has been useful for the differentiation of Brucella species [ 6 ] and for differentiation among isolates from marine mammal hosts [ 7 ] . However, as a tool for the epidemiology of brucellosis in livestock, this technique is limited by the low rate of natural sequence divergence within the locus at the biovar level.
