Spanish term or phrase: Plasma Testigo
Hi everyone,

Under a blood test lab report:

Tiempo de Protrombina [+ values]
INR [+ Values]
Plasma Testigo [+values]
El valor de referencia esta dado en base al plasma testigo (100% actividad)
Glucosa Sanguinea, etc.

Any idea what plasma testigo is?

TIA!

reference plasma
Explanation:
This is the plasma to which the patient's plasma sample is compared in coagulation assays. It is usually obtained from a pool of plasma samples known to be normal. Note it is not the same as "control plasma" (which may be "known normal" or "known abnormal" depending on its intended use).

Suerte :)

control plasma


Explanation:
It might refer to the control used to provide normal test values.

VisuCon™-F Frozen Normal Control Plasma is a normal reference control plasma intended for use in the quality control of coagulation assays in the normal range. Good laboratory practice requires that assays be calibrated over the relevant range and that controls be performed regularly to confirm assay calibration.

Q:
What does a control mean in scientific terms?
A:
QUICK ANSWER
In scientific terms, the word control means to create a group that experiences the same conditions as a test group during a study, without being exposed to the experimental factor or treatment that the test group is. In doing this, scientists can reduce the chance that an external factor is producing the experiment results they experience.
