In the laboratory world, a spike is a reanalysis of a regular sample done for quality control (QC) purposes with a known amount added. Data is expected to include the original client sample ID for each method and, potentially, a percent recovery and an expected result for each analyte that is a spike. The original client sample ID identifies the original sample that was spiked.[1]
