Здравствуйте!

Подскажите, пожалуйста, как перевести вот этот кусочек выделенного жирным шрифтом предложения:

...the relative potency times the assigned value of the Standard.

Контекст:

Biological assay validation

The amount of activity (potency) of the Standard is initially assigned a value of 1.0 or 100%, and the potency of the Test sample is calculated by comparing the concentration–response curves for the Test and Standard pair. This results in a unitless measure, which is the relative potency of the Test sample in reference to the potency of the Standard. In some cases the Standard is assigned a value according to another property such as protein concentration. In that case the potency of the Test sample is the relative potency times the assigned value of the Standard. An assumption of parallel-line or parallel-curve (e.g., four-parameter logistic) bioassays is that the dose–response curves that are generated using a Standard and a Test sample have similar (parallel) curve shape distinguished only by a horizontal shift in the log dose. For slope-ratio bioassays, curves generated for Standard and Test samples should be linear, pass through a common intercept, and differ only by their slopes. Information about how to assess parallelism is provided in general chapters 1032 and 1034.

Заранее спасибо.

Time не в значении "умножать" здесь используется?

Yes. '2 x 3 = 6' is pronounced either

* 'two times three is six'
or, more formally,
* 'two multiplied by three equals six'

in English. So it's describing a mathematical formula.

johnstephenson, thank you!
