Buenos días,

Espero que puedan ayudarme con una expresión al español: “Specimen” relacionada con una prueba de inmunofluorescencia indirecta. En el texto de abajo se muestran “specimen” y “sample” al mismo tiempo y me confunde un poco. Muchas gracias:

“Real-time Stability Test: The following three batches of X Combo Tests are used.

Specimen: Positive Serum sample, Negative Serum sample

Test Method: 5 test kits from each batch stored at 2, 4, 6, 8°C. Test kits tested on regular intervals of 6, 12, 18 months.

Real-time test results under 2 °C:

- Positive Serum sample with MP IgM concentration ≥ L1:8 (+)”

pieza


Explanation:
Cito de Navarro: 3 Cuando se ha obtenido mediante biopsia {biopsy speci-
men o bioptic specimen), es más frecuente hablar de
'pieza'.

Si bien no hablamos de una biopsia, encontré que en tu contexto también se utiliza "pieza".

Example sentence(s):
  • Los tejidos utilizados para IF deben estar criopreservados, lo cual causa dificultad para orientar la pieza.
