^aMean calculated from average densities per subsample. 

^bMinimum and maximum subsample values. 

^cLog(x + 1) subsample means were calculated and backtransformed (10^log(x+1) − 1). 

^dPrior to calculation of mean values per assay type, method b1 and b2 data were averaged. 

^eRange of the means of subsamples.
