  "term": "Relative quantification",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A method of determining the amount of an analyte in a sample by comparing its signal to that of a reference sample, rather than determining its absolute concentration. This approach is often used when an absolute standard is unavailable or difficult to prepare. It provides information on the fold-change or ratio of analyte levels between different samples.",
