titer
This term is used almost exclusively within clinical, laboratory, and medical contexts. It describes a quantitative measurement rather than a simple presence or absence of a substance. The process involves a series of dilutions until the substance is no longer detectable, making the titer a ratio or a specific value rather than a direct mass measurement.
In a medical report, a high titer typically indicates a strong immune response or an active infection, while a low titer suggests waning immunity or a lack of exposure. It is distinct from a general concentration measurement because it specifically refers to the highest dilution that still yields a positive result.
