In the laboratory world, a duplicate is a reanalysis of a regular sample done for quality control (QC) purposes. Data is expected to include an original client sample ID for each method and, potentially, a relative percent difference for each analyte. The original client sample ID identifies the original sample that was reanalyzed.[1]
