Portuguese term or phrase: Todos os testes foram realizados em triplicata
Todos os testes foram realizados em triplicata.


This means tests were conducted three times, in order to produce three identical methodological procedures. My question is as to which the jargon term for triplicata is in English. Thanks in advance.

See more context:


Como controle positivo (C3) foi utilizado uma mistura de 0,18 mg mL-1 de cipermetrina, 0,30 mg mL-1 clorpirifós e 0,012 mg mL-1 citronelal (Colosso®, Ouro fino, São Paulo) diluído a 0,125% em água ultrapura.
