Description

Formates are salts or esters of formic acid, commonly used in various industrial applications and can also have specific medical uses. In a clinical context, they may be referenced in relation to certain therapeutic agents or chemical compounds.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'formiatos' may not be commonly used in everyday medical conversations, so it is important to clarify the context of its use. Colloquial terms might include 'sales de ácido fórmico', but it is recommended to stick to the glossary term in formal contexts to avoid confusion.

Example Sentences

EN: The laboratory tested various formates for their efficacy in drug formulation.

ES: El laboratorio probó varios formiatos por su eficacia en la formulación de medicamentos.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'formates' with 'formatos'; mispronouncing 'formiatos' as 'formatos'; assuming all chemical terms have direct equivalents in Spanish.
