(A) Posterior distributions for for four different replicates of treatment C (coloured lines). The means of the posteriors (coloured circles) shift away from the value
(red circle) used for the experimental design (Table S1). (B) The mean of the posterior is used to re-calculate

for each replicate (coloured diamonds and squares, respectively), using the
credible interval as the error bar. The new values differ from the nominal values
and
(red diamond and square, respectively, marked by arrows) used in the experimental design (Table S1).
