Thank you Katy for this useful consumer testing. I am in Derbyshire and would be very interested in you hand delivering me some of the black dotty backing to test either as a backing for my hexy MF imitation of your hexy MF or even as some of the background. Thank you very much for your kind attention. My friends and I like the way you do a lot of things but not everything. Mrs Goldsworthy or Manor House, Derbyshire.

Haha! Lynne you are a hoot!
Thanks for the info but I still love piecing my backs getting two quilts for one!
Though if I get better at machine quilting I may just be tempted to try a wholecloth approach on the back - sorry warbling on!

Thanks Katy for testing these out. I was wondering too about the dye transfer on the backing. I don't usually wash any fabrics first. Do you think that if you had used a color catcher there would still be color transfer? I rely on those more then I probly should.

It never ceases to amaze me what people will do for others. Thanks so much this will save me and so many others from the dreaded "&*^%$#$@^&* I didn't think I needed to prewash that" syndrome.

Thank you for testing the fabrics. I am so bad, I never pre-wash, and someday it will bite me in the butt. But for now, laziness rules my life. I detest those wrinkles and messy strings so that is why I stopped pre-washing, after my first go at it. This post gives me courage to pre-wash again.

Katy, thanks so much for testing and passing on your results. I'm a pretty fanatical pre-washer, but it is nice to know I could use the grey without it if I need to :)

Are these people at Moda scratching their heads and saying what in the world did we get into with this ginger monkey?? LOL I think you are representing quilters in such a great way! If you are going to do it do it right!! ;) Thanks for all your leg work!!

You rock, can't wait to try these out!

- Poppyprint said...
Yeah, I prewash everything except pre-cuts. Especially red, black and navy. Reds from almost every company probably bleed more than people realize, so I'm not at all surprised the backing released a bit of colour (and it does really seem like a tiny bit considering it was 2 yards of, what, 80" fabric?! That's a lot of cloth!). I thought Moda would use the same dyes on the extra-wide backs as on their regular sized bolts of fabric...but do you think not?
- 22 April 2012 at 17:37
- Katy said...
In reply to poppyprint - I pre-wash pretty much nothing except dark colours and especially red, black and navy. You're right that this is a small dye shed compared to amount of fabric - 2 yards of 108" wide fabric. I'm also quite sure this is the same kind of dye as moda use in their regular fabrics, and they are VERY colorfast compared to some other companies.
My concern would be that someone would choose this red as it's such a great match for something like Aneela's fabrics or Bonnie and Camille and NOT pre-wash, and end up with a pale pink background on their whites. It's always better to be safe - pre-wash those bold solids!!!!
I've just tested the black and that sheds a lot less than I thought it would - I washed 3.5 yards of 108" fabric and the white batting has a faint hint of grey but not a lot, certainly not as much as you may expect.
Seriously though - these are such great fabrics, so soft, really nice handle and they wash beautifully.
- 22 April 2012 at 17:56
- Molly said...
Thanks for testing the color bleed for us. What about shrinkage? I would worry that the first wash would leave me with a very twisted quilt.
- 22 April 2012 at 20:47
- Live a Colorful Life said...
I'm glad you are doing all the hard work of testing and sharing your findings. I used to be a stickler for prewashing everything, and kind of got out of that habit. Maybe not such a good idea...
- 22 April 2012 at 22:01
- Archie the wonder dog said...
Fancy a job with Which? Or Good Housekeeping?!! Thanks for testing them - I pre wash most things and have even been known to pre wash charm packs but it's good to know how they wash, thank you!

Happy Birthday, Graham Nash!!!
Saturday, February 2, 2013
Happy Birthday to Graham Nash who turns 71 on today (February 2nd)!!! Crosby, Stills, & Nash have just announced that they'll team-up this spring with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Wynton Marsalis. The trio will play the two-night event on May 1st and 3rd at Lincoln Center's Rose Theatre, dubbed, The Crosby, Stills & Nash Songbook, which will consist of the Jazz at Lincoln Center's 2013 Annual Gala Concert followed by a charity dinner, with the general public able to purchase tickets for the May 3rd show.
Out now is the CD/DVD set CSN 2012 which includes such classics as "Carry On/Questions," "Marrakesh Express," "Long Time Gone," "Southern Cross," "Wasted On The Way," "Deja Vu," "Our House," "Helplessly Hoping," "Wooden Ships," "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," and "Teach Your Children," among others. CSN 2012 also spotlights the group's solo careers with a take on Nash's "Military Madness," Stephen Stills' "Love The One You're With," "Johnny's Garden" and his Buffalo Springfield classics "For What It's Worth" and "Bluebird." Also included are the new songs -- David Crosby's "Radio" and Nash's "Almost Gone," as well as the group's tight-harmony cover of Bob Dylan's "Girl From North Country."
In 2010, along with the rest of the Hollies, Nash was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The occasion marked Nash's second entrance into the Hall, having already been inducted with CSN back in 1998.
Nash told us that if any English rock group deserves Hall of Fame status -- it's gotta be the Hollies: "I'm old enough now to realize and look at my history so far. The Hollies were so influential in the early-'60s through the '60s. Very, very, influential. We were probably one of the very first bands to ever use three-part harmony constantly. I mean, even the Beatles were two-part most of the time. The Hollies were a fabulous band. Maybe they weren't 'cool,' but by the time I'd left we'd had 18 Top Ten hits. I mean, how many do the Kinks have? How many did everybody else have that's in (the Rock Hall)? I think the Hollies deserve to be in there."
Nash was born in Blackpool, England and raised in Manchester. It was there that he co-founded the Hollies in 1962 with childhood friend Allan Clarke. Following his departure from the group in 1968, Nash teamed up with David Crosby, who had recently left the Byrds, and former Buffalo Springfield guitarist Stephen Stills -- who along with occasional member Neil Young -- have gone on to form one of the most important and lasting rock partnerships of the past 40 years.
Nash says that since their first meeting, he and Crosby have shared a unique bond that transcended music: "I've always been closer friends with David than I have with either Stephen or Neil. I mean, that's been obvious from the very beginning with my and David's relationship. As a musician he is one of the finest, most unique musicians in the world. I love him to death."
Although CSN's music and career choices have been analyzed and second-guessed by fans and journalists alike, Nash says he's been fortunate to have never taken himself that seriously: "You just can't spend too much time thinking in those terms, y'know, about how significant you are. You're not, y'know? This is not brain surgery or astrophysics or Mozart -- this is a very simple form of music that moves a great many people, and I'm glad to be a part of it."
In 2009, Nash released the three-disc career retrospect called Reflections. Among the classic tracks featured on the 64-song set are Nash's Hollies hits "On A Carousel," "Carrie Anne," and "King Midas In Reverse," along with the CSN/CSNY standards "Marrakesh Express," "Our House," "Teach Your Children," and "Wasted On The Way."

If Powerage is the buried treasure from the Bon Scott years, Flick of the Switch is the buried treasure for the band under Brian Johnson. For Flick of the Switch, AC/DC wanted to return to the simple hard rock roots that got them were they are today. And they delivered one of the hardest albums I have ever heard outside a purely metal band. The drums bang like thunder, the guitars scream to life, and the vocals shout to a new level of intensity for AC/DC. It's a great new sound that works quite well.
For people who claim that AC/DC just rewrote the same song over and over again, listen to Flick of the Switch. You can find influences from their past work woven into Flick of the Switch, but for the most part the riffs are original containing a lot of grit. There is a bass quality that the Young brothers utilize to make their guitars bellow. It works well with Johnson's screaming vocals. The opening track, "Rising Power," sums up the album nicely. You get the same power and BOOM throughout Flick of the Switch that you do in the staring seconds of "Rising Power." "This House is on Fire" emulates "Hell's Bells" by starting off with an eerie riff, but it is a different riff set to a different melody. The title track opens in a similar manner to "What do you do for Money Honey" but has a more inventive riff. While there are similarities, like I said, there is more originality than people would initially think.
The song "Nervous Shakedown" is great to listen to because it has a strong sense of story telling and a cool call and answer vocal style during the chorus. "Landslide" is a fast paced rocker that would be a perfect song to start a gig with. "Guns for Hire" begins with Angus messing around with different guitar tone before the song begins. And begins it does! The rest of the band explodes into an all-out rockfest. "Bedlam in Belgium" is about an experience the band had when a show went wrong much like Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water." It's a great song that exemplifies AC/DC's song writing ability. "Badlands" is a bluesy piece that reminds listeners Angus and Malcolm grew up listening to blues and they have never forgotten their roots.
If you are looking for an all out rock album that dominates eardrums and refuses to quit, buy Flick of the Switch. It is a tremendous record that goes overlooked far too often. Amazing guitar licks, screaming vocals, and one of the heaviest rhythm sections of all time does not lie. This album kicks your teeth in and then rams them down your throat. And since you could easily find it for $10, why not make a wise purchase?
Flick of the Switch, the loudest AC/DC-album for sure. I never get bored with this album, I play it over and over in my car and at home in stereos. In top three on my AC/DC-album list. AC/DC at its purest form, produced by Angus and Malcolm. So what else could it be! Then again that`s not the case with Fly On The Wall, I think. When talking about bottom AC/DC-albums Fly On The Wall is definetly one of that catecory, good album in generally though, but from AC/DC I would expect a little bit more. But back in the main case, Flick Of The Switch is a dream come true for a hardcore AC/DC-fan! Favorite song: Landslide
i dont get how a person can even think of saying that ac/dc had even one bad album. this wasnt even the most underated album, blow up your video was (great by the way) the second most underated is fly on the wall (everyone only knows the miley cyres version), then who made who (was way to good to be on maximum overdrive), and then comes flick of the switch. only a true fan can like all their albums and all their songs no matter what.
To me, Flick of the switch has a very special place. I became an AC/DC fan around 1982. At that time, For Those About to rock was their most recent album. I learned about the band, bought all of their albums up to that point and in 1983 I was ready ,just like any other fan for their new album which was Flick of the switch. It was the first ac/dc album that I waited for and went to buy it the first day that it came out, a tradition that I have followed with all the other albums that came later.
It has many great songs like Rising Power, this house is on Fire, Nervous Shakedown(one of my favorites), Guns for hire and Badlands.
Sometimes overlooked but It is a great album. I love to play it and listen to it, every once in a while. I love the guitar riff in This house is on fire.
Rising Power & House Is On Fire are as great an opening salvo as any album ever, but IMO the rest of the songs don't match them, despite many good parts. I can't understand why they don't play these two numbers live, incredible songs that don't sound dated at all.
I'll concur that this is an incredible recording tho. Nothing like it before or since. Hearing it on vinyl the day it was released nearly brought the apartment down. My friends and I were in shock.

Set against a TsimSha Tsui that never slepps, a stolen police gun triggers a suspenseful chain of events. Tracking down the missing gun before dawn, cop LO first gets his car vandalised, then his butt kicked. Suddenly he is wedged between two gangs on a brink of bloodbath, while starving off investigations by both the Anti-vice Squad and Homicidal Unit embroiled in their own turf war. His only lifeline is a maverick team of Police Tactical Unit who help him searching the gun...All cararacters, all threads crisscross in one dark night. High-contrast light versus darkness shots. A natural minimalization versus a deep sense of black humour. With precise timing, Johnnie To sets the place for a visual ballet

Toontown Online
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Toontown Online Overview
Toontown is one of Disney's first MMORPGs and is specifically geared towards a young audience. With chat disabled by default and 'gag's like squirting water & throwing pies as the main form of combat, Toontown Online is a safe virtual playground. After creating a toon and customize their appearance, clothes, and color players are led through a short 'toon-torial' which explains the game's basics. Evidently, the town is under attack by corporate cog robots who are turning the colorful and vibrant community into a bleak corporate environment. Luckily, these cogs can't take a joke and it falls on players to play gags to stop them. Both combat and mini games, which earn players jelly beans, can be played with up to four simultaneous players.
Toon animal types - dog, cat, duck, horse, mouse, rabbit, monkey, bear and pig

Toontown Online Review
By, Erhan Altay
Developed internally by Disney's Internet Group, Toontown Online entered beta on August 2001 and officially launched two years later on June 2, 2003. While Disney went on to publish many other MMORPGs aimed at children, Toontown was billed as the first online RPG with a family friendly atmosphere. Like other Disney online games including Pirates of the Caribbean Online, Pixie Hollow, and Club Penguin, Toontown is free to download and play but requires a subscription to unlock most features. Luckily, there is no time limit on the free membership which leaves players free to explore the game at their own pace.
Animated Adventure
Since Toontown was developed in-house rather than acquired by Disney, classic Disney characters play an important role within the game. During character creation players are introduced to Mickey who guides them through the process of creating a toon. Free members are only allowed a single character while 5 other slots are available for premium members. There are eight animal types to chose from for your toon, each with several head, body, and leg parts. Players can create tall, short, or chubby variants of the various animals and chose from several skin and clothing colors. Considering the small size and age of the game, character creation in toontown is acceptable but unlikely to impress. The tutorial or 'toon-torial' immediately proceeds character creation and does a good job explaining the game's basics. The camera is by default set at a third-person view but can be changed by hitting tab. Movement is done exclusively with the arrow keys which I found frustrating but little kids seem to prefer this method.
Cog Invasion
The back story in Toontown Online is quite original. The fun loving town is being invaded by robots called 'cogs' who are bent on turning the area into a bland, corporate business zone. These cogs come in four variations including Bossbots, Lawbots, Cashbots, and Sellbots, each with a different physical appearance. Cogs have names like 'cold caller' and both their attacks and phrases match their theme. For example the cold caller cog says lines like 'I'm a cool operator' and 'I'm making a collect call.' Since toontown is a child friendly game, there is no direct violence. Instead, gamers play 'gags' on the cogs since they can't take a joke. The tutorial includes a trial battle so players can get an idea of how combat works. Combat is activated when players collide with cogs that wander around the streets. Both the player(s) and cog(s) then walk to an open area and take turns in turn based battle. My first impression of combat was how similar it was to Wizard101 where turn based battles are activated in a similar fashion. In both games, up to three additional players and enemies can join an ongoing fight.
Slap Stick Battles
As I mentioned earlier, Toontown Online attempts to make fighting more family friendly by having players play 'gags' on NPC robot opponents rather than swing swords or fire guns. The first two gag categories players have access to are 'throw' and 'squirt.' There are five other categories available for a total of seven. Each category has seven tiers for a total of 49 gags. The first tier in the 'squirt' gag category is a small flower that players squeeze to unleash a small amount of water on their enemies while more advanced tiers include a squirt gun, a compressed bottle, a hose, and so on. Similarly, throw gags start out as a single slice of pie and eventually progress to a birthday cake and finally with what looks like a wedding cake for the final 7th tier. To unlock new gags, players must participate in battles to gain experience. There are also hundreds of tasks (quests) for players to complete which not only give additional experience and item rewards but also help give the game a sense of direction. Another clever work around is the concept of 'happiness' replacing health points or life. Players lose happiness when they're hit and are sent back to the playground when they become sad to recoup.
Candy Currency
The primary currency in Toontown are jellybeans. All gags require ammo which means players must continuously replenish their supply at Goofy's Gag Shop located at the playground. Each neighborhood has its own playground which serves as a safe zone free of cogs. There are in total eight neighborhoods which make up the toontown virtual world. Unfortunately, free players only have full access to the first of these: Toontown Central. Limited access to several other neighborhoods is available to try and entice membership. The method of earning jellybeans is constant in all areas, players must jump on the trolly and play mini games either alone or with up to three other players. There are a host of mini games which are randomly selected. Anyone whose played flash games on arcade sites should be familiar with the type of games on offer. As a huge minigame fan I found this method of accumulating wealth refreshing compared to the standard grinding method found in most games. It's not uncommon for browser based games like Neopets to offer this feature but Toontown Online is the first client based game I've seen with it.
Pay For More
Besides offering a new twist on the classic turn based RPG combat experience, Toontown has many side features which help give the game more depth. All players start with a house that comes decorated with basic furniture including a telephone, candy dispenser (to store excess jellybeans), a bed, and other amenities. Additional furniture, clothes, emotes, and chat phrases can be purchased from catalogues which are mailed weekly to players. Of course paying players have wider access to player housing with the ability to customize gardens and wider furniture options. Additionally, subscribers can explore Cog HQ zones which free accounts only get a taste of. Since this is a game meant for kids as young as seven years old, it should come as no surprise that it contains some heavy chat filtering. By default, players can only communicate via pre defined messages called 'speed phrases' though keyboard chat can be enabled via the website after creating a 'parent password.' The game world available is quite large and should keep children busy for a long time. Enthusiastic parents have been known to jump into the game with their kids though I'm not sure how long a game like Toontown will keep older gamers entertained. As with other Disney games, the subscription price is a bit deceptive — the first month is offered at $5 but each additional month is billed at $10 which might catch parents who haven't done their homework off guard. Discounts are available for bulk purchases of 3 or 6 months but I would not recommend these options since kids seem to discard games just as fast as toys.
Final Verdict: Good
Toontown Online makes a great first MMORPG for youngsters. With a unique setting, original plot and a combat system that's easy to learn but difficult to master, Toontown continues to attract young and old gamers alike.

VIP Lounges
With the guest of your choice, you can enjoy more than 550 VIP lounges belonging to LAN and other airlines from the oneworld alliance. This benefit can be used by the membership holder (Emerald or Sapphire) and a guest, as long as both are traveling on flights operated by LAN or by other airlines in the oneworld alliance, regardless of the member's flight class.
New VIP LATAM lounge in Guarulhos
As of November, you can visit the first VIP lounge of the Grupo LATAM situated in Terminal 3 at Guarulhos, Sao Paulo.

oneworld VIP Lounges
Modern, welcoming and comfortable
Many VIP lounges provide Internet access, a bar, telephones and other amenities. Some have showers and a wide range of business services, including meeting facilities. Access is subject to the lounge's capacity. It is important to point out that access to the VIP lounges is based on:
Departure flight carrier:
You must depart on the next leg of your trip on the same day, on a flight sold and operated by a member airline of the oneworld alliance. An exception applies in VIP lounges in Santiago; if a flight is sold by LAN and operated by any other airline, not necessarily in the oneworld network, the member will be invited to use the VIP lounge.
Frequent flyer category:
You must present a current frequent flyer card with Emerald or Sapphire category in the oneworld network.
Travel class:
You must present an Business Class boarding pass corresponding to the international leg of the trip on that same day. Most of the VIP lounges are owned and operated by an airline in the oneworld network.
In some locations, the VIP lounges may be operated by a third party (a company not affiliated with oneworld), representing the oneworld airlines.
American Airlines and Qantas offer programs that allow their clients to pay to enter their VIP lounges. Those who choose this benefit will not be able to automatically access other oneworld airlines' VIP lounges.
VIP lounges in the Santiago Airport
Let LAN treat you to an environment where you can work, be entertained, or just get some rest. A natural setting with plenty of open space sets our Neruda and Mistral VIP lounges in Santiago's Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport apart from the rest. Our lounges were designed with the aim of providing first-rate service to our passengers flying Business class and to members of the top two categories in the LANPASS frequent flyer program (Premium Silver and Comodoro).
If you wish to use the Mistral lounge in Santiago with more than one guest, including children, they will have to pay an entrance fee. A preferential price is offered to our members, but the benefit is subject to availability. This applies only to Comodoro members (preferential price of US$ 17) for a second or additional guest older than 2 years of age.
The VIP lounges in the Santiago Airport offer first-rate services, such as:
- Business Center: Equipped with the most advanced technology. This includes eight workstations equipped with personal computers and internet connection, fax and photocopy machines and printers.
- Connections: The VIP Lounge has network access points at various locations for connecting personal computers. In addition, there are telephones for local and international calling using a variety of carriers.

The Neruda VIP lounge is located in the international boarding zone, in gate 20. Operating hours: Monday through Sunday from 03:00 a.m. to 01:00 a.m.
- Access to the airlines' First Class VIP lounges is limited to Emerald members.
- During peak hours, access to certain VIP lounges may be restricted due to capacity limitations.
- Access is available on the day of departure if your next departing flight is with a oneworld network member airline (there is an exception for flights departing after midnight).
- Access may be restricted to some VIP lounges operated by non-affiliate airlines representing members of oneworld.

The roadside farm stand with its selection of that day's harvest has long been a part of the Vermont scene; the farmers market takes it to a whole new level. Think of them as a large gourmet food store where "buy local" is the motto.
Some of these amazing markets are in cities, like those in the state capital of Montpelier, or in Burlington, St. Albans, Rutland and Brattleboro. Others are held weekly on scenic village greens in towns like Waitsfield in the Mad River Valley, Chelsea, Danville, Fairlee and Bristol.
In all, about 60 farmer's markets throughout the state offer bustling kiosks and stands that are a colorful Green Mountain twist on the European, straight-from-the-farm tradition. They feature a cornucopia of vegetables and fruits, honey, award-winning goat and sheep farmstead cheeses, sumptuous breads and baked goods, and food stands serving everything from Korean to Mexican delicacies. Many also have a variety of cut flowers and perennial plants, as well as locally made arts and crafts.

Although it is not Freeware, it is cheap and a royalty free (but limited) version of the library is available.
I am a fan of Free and Open Source software though (hence the many open source side projects and more to come).
This project was started out of frustration for the state of OpenAL-Sample years ago (and in some ways still today with OpenAL-Soft) and renders about 6 times faster than both. As time passed proper stereo mixing and effects supports has been added as well as support for audio-frames which can be used for sub-mixing and to move multiple sound emitters around simultaneously in a 3d environment.
This library however is not meant to be a replacement for ALSA, PulseAudio or OSS but instead it simply uses one of them as a backend. I really wouldn't want to think of this much code added the the kernel..
Personally I think the library fills a gap that both OS-X and Windows already have a solution for and the fact that it can render (3d) audio up to 7 times faster (and I see some room for more improvement) and can be setup for latencies as low as 2 msec means it is well thought out in my honest opinion.
is exactly what we need...
being happy alsa user for years. didnt have any issues with it for quite a while.
Let me remind you principle that ANY engineer follows, IF IT'S AINT BROKEN - DON'T FIX IT!
89c51 was fired soon after.
Next time you say something is broken at least be able to tell why you believe this (the rocket because it exploded, a car because it crashed, etc.)
Isn't this what ALL the other sound systems have been trying to do? They have all failed."professional grade audio, that means lowest possible latency, latency compensation and bit exact precision at a very low CPU load. KLANG has been designed as a signal routing system, supporting seamless and transparent signal transport between all endpoints.
ALSA has worked fine for me for as long as I can remember. I don't want another square wheel.

First lady Michelle Obama weighed in on Monday's rescue of three women who police say had been held in captivity for years in Ohio, saying their discovery makes her heart "swell up with relief."
Obama also answered questions about New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's move to have weight loss surgery in February, a decision he revealed Tuesday and talked about at great length in a high-profile news conference.
In the first lady's interview, which aired Wednesday on NBC's "Today," Obama was asked about her feelings following the news of three women who were found in a Cleveland home a decade after going missing.
"Just to imagine first losing a child and not knowing whether they're alive or dead or in harm's way, and to be holding out hope for a decade and to finally have those prayers answered, um, is just probably the best Mother's Day gift or gift that these families will receive," Obama said.
The trio of women disappeared from the same Cleveland street - Lorain Avenue - between 2002 and 2004.
With the help of a neighbor, one of the women broke out of the house where they were being locked in and called 911, thus ending the decade-long nightmare. Three brothers were arrested in connection with the kidnappings.
Obama, a strong advocate for healthy eating and active lifestyles, also commented on Christie's lap-band surgery, which he had nearly three months ago at the urging of his family.
Saying the surgery is "a very personal matter," the first lady said she tries not to comment on people's personal choices.
"I think Governor Christie is terrific. His family is wonderful, and I wish them the best," she said. "The one thing that I will say is that there are millions of people like the governor who struggle with adulthood obesity, and that's one of the reasons why I think 'Let's Move' is so important, because we want to start working with kids when they're young so that they don't have these challenges when they get older."
"Let's Move" is her campaign to combat childhood obesity.

Many drug discovery programs incorporate high-throughput screening of cytochrome P450 activity to identify potential drug toxicities and improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the drug development process. In this investigation, Promega P450-Glo™ kits for CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 were evaluated on the Protedyne BioCube™ System, an industrial grade automation platform configured with a BMG Labtech PheraStar reader. Each enzyme was subject to the following tests performed in parallel manually and on the automated BioCube™ System: IC50 determinations, compound screening with known inhibitors, Z′-Factor, and limit of detection. IC50 determinations and compound screening exhibited good correlation between manually generated and BioCube™ System-generated inhibition values. Z′-Factor scores ranged from 0.69 to 0.79, revealing robust performance with good dynamic range of the automated assay. Limit of detection values ranged from 0.97–7.8fmol of enzyme, highlighting the sensitivity of the assays.
