3分するとうっすらと「r」の部分に赤い線が見え始めました。「r」は、対照という意味ですが(多分、リファレンス reference)、ここに線が出ると検査自体が上手くいったという意味になります。r F Cと並んでいます。とりあえずF(インフルエンザ)にもC(新型コロナ)にも線が現れてこないようです(まだ5分しかたってませんが)。普通の風邪なら、FもCも線が出ないということになりますので、風邪であってほしいです。ちなみに室温はエアコンで23度に設定しています。
線がうっすら出ている場合どう判断するのか気になるところですが、Abbott社製の製品PanBioの動画説明を見ると、The presence of any test line (T), no matter how faint , indicates a positive results. たとえどんなに薄くても線があれば陽性という判断をすべきだそうです。

a biological replicate would be thawing a new vial of cells from the same stock and repeating the experiment on separate days. https://www.reddit.com/r/labrats/comments/14wse7w/in_vitro_cell_experiments_biological_replicates/?rdt=59132
If I grow a bacteria in 3 containers (eg, flasks) from the same stock in one experiment, do those containers of bacterial cultures represent 3 biological replicates or just one replicate? https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is-this-a-biological-replicate
兎に角、何をnと数えたかを論文中にハッキリと書くということが一番大事です。

ある実験でA vs Bの2群で比較するとき、 A(n=3) vs B(n=3)を3回繰り返し評価するとき、 n=9にするのか、1回毎の平均をとって、n=3にするのか どちらを選択されておられますか? 論文を拝見すると両方あるような気がいたします。(実験の取り扱いについて No.11166-TOPIC – 2023/02/02 (木) 05:15:36 – s Bio Technicalフォーラム)
Error bars in experimental biology Geoff Cumming, Fiona Fidler, David L. Vaux Crossmark: Check for Updates Author and Article Information J Cell Biol (2007) 177 (1): 7–11. April 09 2007 Replicates or independent samples—what is n?
Similarly, a number of replicate cell cultures can be made by pipetting the same volume of cells from the same stock culture into adjacent wells of a tissue culture plate, and subsequently treating them identically. Although it would be possible to assay the plate and determine the means and errors of the replicate wells, the errors would reflect the accuracy of pipetting, not the reproduciblity of the differences between the experimental cells and the control cells.
If an experiment involves triplicate cultures, and is repeated four independent times, then n = 4, not 3 or 12.
For n to be greater than 1, the experiment would have to be performed using separate stock cultures, or separate cell clones of the same type.

Whenever you see a figure with very small error bars, you should ask yourself whether the very small variation implied by the error bars is due to analysis of replicates rather than independent samples.

HUVECs cultures were plated triplicate on different Ti surfaces and plastic cell culture plate. Data are presented by the relative amount of mRNA with the formula 2 taken plastic plate as a control, statistical analysis (N = 9, three groups repeated three times) was performed by ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test.

Figure 4 Luciferase activity is expressed as fold increase over control determined as the mean (± SD) of three independent experiments measured in triplicates.
