Post-zon

English translation: Post-zone

Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) / microbiology lab procedur
Swedish term or phrase: Post-zon
"XXXX-XX-XXXX-XXXX mäter differenstrycket mellan XX-XXXX fyllningsrum och XX-XXXX Post-zon." Other than "postzone" is there anything else this term could mean? I'm unclear what a "postzone" is in connection to a microbiology lab. I suspect that it doesn't have anything to do with a postal service or mail, but if not then what?
