Vzorky

Vzorky is a term used in Czech and Slovak languages, serving as the plural form of the noun vzorek, meaning a sample or specimen. It is used across scientific, industrial, and everyday contexts to denote items taken for analysis, demonstration, or testing. Examples include krevní vzorky (blood samples), vzorky půdy (soil samples), and vzorky materiálu (material samples). In laboratory practice, vzorky are collected according to standardized procedures to ensure representativeness, properly labeled, and stored under appropriate conditions to preserve integrity and traceability.

In scientific fields such as chemistry, biology, geology, and materials science, vzorky are used to obtain information about a larger population, environment, or process without examining everything directly. In archaeology and paleontology, vzorky may refer to artifacts, bones, or other specimens selected for dating, analysis, or conservation.

As a common noun, vzorky is typically not capitalized unless it begins a sentence. In computing or data contexts, the term may appear as a generic label for datasets or samples, but it is not a widely standardized technical term within software.

Geographically, there is no widely known town or city named Vzorky; if used as a toponym, it would denote a local or minor place and would require regional context to disambiguate.

Etymology: vzorek originates in Czech and Slovak, with vzorky being the plural form. See also vzorek, vzorkování, and related terms for sampling and specimen concepts.
