Analytical Result Normalized Unit

The normalizedUnit on an AnalyticalResult is the target unit that Piper converts all incoming concentrations to for a given analyte. By normalizing to a consistent unit, the system can accurately compute the exceedanceRatio when comparing normalizedValue against the thresholdConcentration stored on a ThresholdValue. Compliance staff reviewing trend charts will see concentrations plotted in the normalizedUnit, ensuring that data points from different labs on different dates are all on a common scale and directly comparable over time.
