DOSIFICAR EL PRODUCTO QUIMICO
Explanation:
DOSIFICAR = TO SPIKE, INTRODUCE A DOSE OF CHEMICALS INTO THE SYSTEM.

SPIKE SUGGESTS A DRASTIC AND QUICK ACTION, THERE WOULD BE OTHER ALTERNATIVE TRANSLATIONS, SUCH AS

INYECTAR
METERLE UN CHUTE, VIAJE, TRALLAZO, PELOTAZO, ETC

UNFORTUNATELY, THESE ARE MORE LIMITED TO SLANG LANGUAGE AND HAVE, IN ALL CASES, SOME CONNOTATION OF DRUG OR ALCOHOL ABUSE.

THEREFORE, "DOSIFICAR" IS YOUR WORD

SPIKE
4 a : to add an alcoholic beverage to (a drink) b : to add something highly reactive (as a radioactive tracer) to c : to add vitality, zest, or spice to : LIVEN <spiked the speech with humor> <spike the broth with peppers>

Explanation:
To spike es añadir un producto, generalmente uan solución líquida, que contiene un determinado elemento o compuesto químico cuya concentración es conocida, a una muestra que contiene una cantidad o concentración desconocida con el fin de cuantificar ésta.

Te envío una par de referencias en que lo explica:

"El SIL-10ADVP automatiza sus análisis en HPLC con función de previo tratamiento de muestra completa (mezcla, adición de componentes conocidos (spiking), derivación después de la columna) para aumentar la productividad del laboratorio" (1ª ref)

"'Spiking' = adición de un líquido de composición isotópica definida (de Pb o de U respectivamente" (2ª ref)

No hay una palabra concreta que lo traduzca con exactitud, pero en la definición de este término se suele utilizar "adicionar". Quizá, según el texto, convendría decir "adicionar (o añadir) la solución (o producto químico) de concentración (o composición) conocida.

Espero que te sirva de ayuda.

Un saludo.
