Description
An experimental assay is a test run on a single sample. An assay may have n repetitions for evaluation of procedural variation ('experimental noise') due to instrumental resolution. Subsamples can be obtained (1) from a homogenous sample (e.g. cell suspension, tissue homogenate, isolated mitochondria), (2) as subsamples obtained by splitting a sample into comparable parts (e.g. permeabilized muscle fibres from a biopsy split into different chambers for repeated measurements), or (3) repetitive sampling (e.g. taking multiple biopsies) at a single time point.
