SOURCE:
The Immunalysis Cocaine/Benzoylecgonine Enzyme Immunoassay specificity was computed by spiking several concentrations into synthetic oral fluid.

Cos'è lo "spiking" di una soluzione? Non sono certo che il termine "arricchimento" sia esatto. A naso, ipotizzo più o meno "metodo di addizione di un componente per portare la soluzione a una concentrazione di picco" (ma forse ho il raffreddore :) )
