French term or phrase: surface (here)
Does this make sense in the following context if it is translated as 'area':
'La répétabilité est effectuée sur chaque niveau de concentration en calculant le S relatif sur le rapport surface/concentration des trois solutions indépendantes.'
(I wondered because, in one or two places, they use the word 'aire').

surface area could be better, but I assumed this was more coverage capacity than actual surface area.

I asked the agency to check what was meant with the client and this does seem to be the correct translation, here. Thanks Drmanu.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I wonder if you'd mind explaining why 'surface' is better than 'surface area', here? (I am not really sure what is meant by either term in this context).
