Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Spanish term or phrase: valoración (seems odd in this context)
Aspecto, pérdida por desecación, ácido 2-acetoxitereftálico (carboxisal), otras impurezas, valoración

Parameters tested in a stability study for a drug.

Wold the valoración refer to values...? Or what? Evaluation/Valuation seem both out of place here.

TIA:-)

assay or titration
Explanation:
"Valoración" is usually translated "assay", any one of several laboratory tests to determine the % content of a specific chemical in a solution or solid. There are many ways to perform an assay, for instance, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), titration, etc. The problem lies in that the word for "titration" is also "valoración" in Spanish. Your best bet is to read the wikipedia articles on assay and titration, and then based on the context of your source text, translate one way or another. If your text mentions "electrodes" or "Karl Fischer" or "water content" (for example), then you are probably dealing with "titration".

Assay


Explanation:
Here with me I have several dossiers of pharmaceutical products which I translate on a regular basis. The only thing I can come up with is "Assay" as a outcome value which could apply to the term of your question.

another possibility may be "determination" or "appraisal".
