a

CV, coefficient of variation; SW, signal window; S/B, signal-to-background ratio.

b

Values indicated for each experiment represent the mean ± SD of values from three plates, with 60 wells analyzed for each signal. Each experiment was performed on a different day.

c

Forty-eight plates were used for each step. ND, not done.
