12. When a person is determining the concentration of a sample, they will frequently repeat the same measurement of a sample by preparing three or more identical tubes (i.e. make replicates). a) Although you did not set up replicates today, what would be the purpose of setting up replicates? b) If you had tested three replicates of test tube #2 in the determination of glucose concentration, what would you do with the data from the three replicates?
