VS, TS, RS
I need to translate a USP monograph from English to Spanish and I don't know the meaning of the acronymas VS, TS, RS next to substances. Can anyone tell me what they mean and if there's any standard way of translating them?
For example:
edetate disodium VS
stannous chloride TS
Succinic Acid RS
Thank you very much!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Salvo SV (solución volumétrica) no aparecen abreviaturas en español para RS (estándar de referencia) o TS (solución de prueba). por lo que quizás deberías dejar la abreviatura en inglés y la traducción en español entre paréntesis.

Si se usan, los métodos de muestreo automatizados y las sondas para filtros deben validarse contra el método de muestreo manual. Las variables incluyen el arrastre de mediciones anteriores desde superficies del sistema expuestas a la solución de prueba, el tiempo de retardo para el análisis espectrométrico en línea y la interferencia del filtro.
