  1. A 250 pg/μL trophoblast total RNA sample was used to assess the accuracy and precision of reading increases between 1 and 20 pg/μL using the Spike-in Qubit™. Average measured reading increase ± standard deviation (SD), relative error, coefficient of variation, and deviation from ideal expressed in percent are listed in the table. N = 4 independent repeats.
