In the laboratory world, a duplicate, as defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency via its SEDD Specification Version 5.2, is "a reanalysis of a regular sample done for quality control purposes. Data is expected to include an original client sample ID for each sample plus method and, potentially, a [relative percent difference] for each analyte. The original client sample ID identifies the original sample that was reanalyzed."[1]
