Titration
Also known as: dose titration · titrating
Gradually adjusting an amount — usually starting low and increasing — to find a suitable level in a research protocol.
Titration is the practice of adjusting an amount step by step rather than starting at a target level — typically beginning low and increasing gradually while observing the response.
In research protocols it is used to approach a working level carefully and to reduce the chance of an outsized initial response. It is reference terminology only; all compounds are supplied for research purposes only.
