Biological Definitions
Statistical process control (SPC)-is a technique of quality management that uses statistical methods. It is applied to monitor and control processes by ensuring that its full potential is achieved.
Reference substance-these are standard substances used as dimensional stand for similar substances. It is normally used where the exact substance is not known, it give standardize biological effects of the new substance. (Lehane, 1996, p. 155)
Facility Operations-this comprises all the essential services that is mandatory in making a facility achieve what is designed to do. It includes all the daily operations of the facility.
Specimen-a specimen is a mass of materiel that is normally used for the purpose of examination and study. It is a portion of an indivual plant, animal or a microorganism under examination.
Hierarchy-this are the different levels of classification forms, from domain to species. It’s the systematic arrangements, whereby the various structural levels are acknowledged. (Alberghina, 2008, p. 137)
Accuracy- in biology, accuracy is the extent of proximity of measurement of a quantity in reference to that quantity’s real significant.
Test system facilities- these are facilities that are used to simulate transactions within a client’s master folder; it is used so that experimental data can be processed concurrently with actual input. .
Archive facilities-this is an electronic documentation for exorbitant data presented in a logical manner.
Storage facilities-these are the facilities used to store biological materiel; it offers favorable custom storage conditions for biological specimens.
Facilities Management-it is a line of work that involves multiple disciplines that guarantee functionality of the created environment by incorporating processes, technology and people.
Risk assessment-it is the process of determining substantial and qualitative cost of risk attached to the situation and the perceived threat associated.
Security and Access-this is a system that uses the biometric technology to recognize individuals based on their unique qualities as they relate to computer safekeeping (Newman, 2009)
Raw data-this refers to the data that has been collected from a primary source. This data has not been manipulated or tampered with in any way.
