This paper considers the evaluation of uncertainty of quantitative gel electrophoresis. To date, such uncertainty estimation presented in the literature are based on the multiple measurements performed for assessing the intra- and interlaboratory reproducibility using standard samples. This paper shows how to estimate the uncertainty in cases where we cannot study scattering components of the results. The first point is dedicated to a case where we have standard samples (the direct expressions are shown). The second point considers the situation when standard samples are absent (the algorithm for estimating the lower bound for uncertainty is discussed). The role of the data processing algorithm is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
