Italian term

sotteso

Italian to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
"Dal cromatogramma del campione analizzato, integrare il picco corrispondente al polimero (tracciare la linea di base e selezionare l’intervallo di integrazione del picco) e il picco corrispondente allo Standard Interno, il software permette di determinare le aree ***sottese ai*** picchi selezionati ed il % Area, parametri da utilizzarsi per la determinazione dei parametri previsti al punto 11."

Could this be a math term?

peak area

The expression "area sottesa da una curva" (a peak, or any other kind of curve) is in fact a math term (and the problem is studied by integral calculus)

But in chromatography the standard Englih expression for "area sottesa al picco" è semplicemente "peak area" (qui: "selected peak areas", visto che è plurale).
