Substance ratio (subst.ratio)

Synonyms

 Mole ratio, amount-of-substance ratio

Abbreviation

 Subst.ratio

Definition in words

The amount-of-substance of component F divided by amount-of-substance of component G in system 1

Note 1: Component F ≠ Component G (≠ = “not equal to”)

Note 2: Component F ∉ Component G (∉ = “is not an element of”)

Note 3: The quotient of mass of component F and mass of component G is denoted “mass ratio of component B”

Definition by equation

Systematic terms

 Substance ratio of component B in system 1

Result type

  • Value sets are positive numerical values
  • Algebraic operations are allowed (a=nb; a≠nb)
 Numerical values from 0-∞

Unit

10-6, 10-3, 1 (one), 103, 106, etc.

 Example 4
Generic abbreviated
 NPU29007 P—Fibrinogen; subst.ratio(coag./imm.; proc.) = ?
Full result NPU29007 Plasma—Fibrinogen; substance ratio(coagulation/immunological; procedure) = 0.86 × one
Abbreviated result NPU29007 P—Fibrinogen; subst.ratio(coag./imm.; proc.) = 0.86
Written expression The substance ratio of Fibrinogen(coagulation)/Fibrinogen(immunological) in Mr. Smith’s plasma is [0.86].The measurement is performed according to a procedure defined by the laboratory. The calculation was performed by division of the quantity of fibrinogen measured by a coagulation procedure divided by the quantity of fibrinogen measured by a immunological procedure.
