From: Pooling serum samples may lead to loss of potential biomarkers in SELDI-ToF MS proteomic profiling
Distribution of m/z values for peak clusters found in both individual and pooled samples ("retained"), Individual samples only and Pooled samples only. Box = interquartile range, Bar = median; whiskers extend only as far as the furthest point within 1.5 interquartile ranges below the first quartile or above the third quartile. Asterix markers show outliers within 3 interquartile ranges above the third quartile, and circles show outliers beyond 3 interquartile ranges of the third quartile. Individual samples and pooled samples n = 100; Individual samples n = 97; Pooled samples only n = 13.
