Example sentences for: signal-to-background

How can you use “signal-to-background” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The spots were detected with similar signal-to-background ratios until the end of the time course (96 h after induction) for lines EL702C and E, whereas line EL700S did not show any spots during this time course.
As plants contain chloroplasts in leaf and stem cells and many autofluorescent compounds are localized in cell walls, a signal-to-background ratio for GFP detection is probably lower than in animal systems.
The average signal-to-background ratios across all hybridizations for these negative control spots was less than twofold, which is well below the conservative fivefold signal-to-background threshold used to filter data (see Materials and methods).
Methods used to determine a signal threshold include the use of arbitrary fluorescence intensities [ 19 ] , relative errors in Cy3/Cy5 ratios [ 9 20 21 ] or certain signal-to-background ratios [ 22 ] . However, these methods lack information about the specificity and sensitivity of the threshold, which are crucial parameters for estimation of the diagnostic accuracy of microarray hybridizations.
