German term or phrase: aufgestockt
I am not sure how to translate 'um 5 ppm aufgestockt' in the following sentences. Is 'spiked' the appropriate term here?

"Um diesen Matrixeinfluss zu überprüfen wurde ein weitere Verdünnung (1:10) einer 69%igen Salpetersäure erstellt, die mit einer KHP-Stammlösung derart versetzt wurde, ***dass der NPOC-Gehalt um 5 ppm aufgestockt wurde.***"

"Um die Matrixeinflüsse zu untersuchen wurde die 18,5 % Salzsäure anschließend mit einer Kalium-hydrogenphtalat-Lösung ***um 5 ppm TOC aufgestockt.***"

Any help will be greatly appreciated
