  • System-Lebenszyklus (IEEE)

  • System-Qualifizierung (basiert auf ISO)

  • Système (PDA)(1), (ISO)(2)

  • Système de gestion de la qualité (ISO)

  • Système de mesure (Instrument loop)

  • Système informatique (IEEE)

  • Système qualité (Quality system)

  • Système sur mesure (GAMP)

  • Systems Biology

    A hypothesis-driven field of research that creates predictive mathematical models of complex biological processes or organ systems.
  • Systems Maintenance Strategy

    A rationale or set of criteria that is used to develop a Maintenance Plan.
  • T

    The thymine residue in DNA.
  • T Cell Receptor

    An antigen-binding protein that is located on the surfaces of killer T cells and mediates the cellular immune response of mammals. The genes that encode T cell antigens are assembled from gene segments by somatic recombination processes that occur during T lymphocyte differentiation.
  • T-Cell (T-Lymphocyte)

    A type of lymphocyte (T lymphocyte) that is of key importance to the immune system and is at the core of adaptive immunity, the system that tailors the body's immune response to specific pathogens. Immature T cells (termed T-stem cells) migrate to the thymus gland in the neck, where they mature and differentiate into various types of mature T cells and become active in the immune system in response to a hormone called thymosin and other factors.
  • TA

    Test Area
  • TA

    Technical Agreement
  • TAB

    Testing Adjusting and Balancing
  • TAC

    Training Advisory Committee (ISPE term)
  • Tacit Knowledge

    Information in people’s heads, their experience, and personal learning which translate into insights and ideas.
  • TAGMK

    Tertiary cultures of African Green Monkey Kidney cells
  • TAI

    Temps Atomique International (International Atomic Time)
  • Tandem Array

    The existence of two or more identical DNA sequences in series, i.e., end –to-end.
  • Tandem Repeat Sequences

    Multiple copies of the same base sequence on a chromosome; used as markers in physical mapping.
  • Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF)

    Including ultrafiltration and most microfiltration systems, a separation method where the feed stream circulates back to the feed vessel, providing a tangential flow stream across the filter membrane.
  • Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF)

    A separation method that transfers components of one system (stream) into another. The stream the product is being extracted from crosses the stream that the product is being transferred to, multiple times.
  • Tank Bioreactor

    Vessel in which fermentation takes place. A tank bioreactor is a vessel in which a micro-organism is grown in a large volume of liquid. This contrasts with fibre or membrane bioreactors and immobilized cell reactors. The large majority of bioreactors used in biotechnology are tank bioreactors, and most tank bioreactors are stirred-tank bioreactors, because stirring helps to distribute effectively gas and nutrients to the growing organism.
