Achieved sensitivity obtained from different allocations of the 600 units when the prevalence in each line varies so that the overall prevalence is 0.5%. The solid black line corresponding to a proportional split is always greater than the desired sensitivity. For non-proportional allocation, the sensitivity is sometimes greater and sometimes less than desired.
