Glossary

When detecting the activity of a tag it can be measured by a scintillation counter (radioactivity) or a Multilabel counter for fluorescence. It relates to the number of photons detected by the radiation counter or fluorescence counter. The greater the counting efficiency, the closer the CPS values are to the actual number of photons produced.

A bond in which an electron pair is equally shared by protons in two adjacent atoms.

(NIST) Determining and assessing measures associated with the invocation of program structural elements to determine the adequacy of a test run. Coverage analysis is useful when attempting to execute each statement, branch, path, or iterative structure in a program. Tools that capture this data and provide reports summarizing relevant information have this feature.

Refers to three types of entities that must comply with the HIPAA Privacy Rule: health care providers; health plans; and health care clearinghouses. For purposes of the HIPAA Privacy Rule, health care providers include hospitals, physicians, and other caregivers, as well as researchers who provide health care and receive, access or generate individually identifiable health care information.

An electrochemical test (ASTM G61) for metals that measures the point at which pitting corrosion begins. CP uses an electrolytic cell to directly measure the corrosion rate. By using the test piece as the working electrode, initiation of localized corrosion is shown by the potential at which the current density increases rapidly. This point is called the “pitting potential”. The lower the current density at this point, the more resistance to pitting corrosion. The current density is measured in micro-amps per square centimeter.
