I'm not sure about the above term. It appears as a heading in a document describing a lab procedure. The section describes the machines used in the procedure as well as defines some terms. The other sections are "objetivo y campo de trabajo" "material y reactivos" "expresion de resultados"... Does it mean basis or something like that?
Any ideas? Thanks.
