Number of PCR reactions detected on microdissected ovarian carcinoma tissue

	No. of samples	CV%1	Ct range
No PCR reaction	1	–	–
PCR reaction in either HER2 or gastrin	6	–	38.3–43.7
1× PCR reaction in both HER2 and gastrin	5	–	37.0–40.0
2× PCR reaction in both HER2 and gastrin	9	68.3	36.6–42.0
3× PCR reaction in both HER2 and Gastrin	10	75.5	36.9–39.4
4× PCR reaction in both HER2 and gastrin	9	82.2	34.0–39.3

HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2; PCR, polymerase chain reaction.

¹Coefficient of variance (CV%) was calculated as the mean CV% of samples with either two, three, or four PCR reactions in both HER2 and gastrin.
