Fig. 1.
A graphical representation of the efficiency (E) values across all cycles taken from a 6-step dilution set. Efficiency is calculated using the formula . The Fi and i values for calculation are taken directly from Additional file 2: Dataset 1, wells A1 through A6. Since F0 value is unknown, it was selected from the range of theoretically possible F0 values (covering 0.007–0.0002) and used in the formula
