Italian term

al quantomeno

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Dear folks,
I hope you can help me with this expression, which has left me flummoxed!
It is in a document about the testing and analysis of samples of ductile iron, and appears in two sentences:

Parallelamente all’analisi termica è stata eseguita un’analisi chimica del materiale mediante quantomeno.
Tab 1 - Dati riscontrati mediante analisi chimica realizzata al quantomeno

Literally it means "at the very least" but I don't know if I can use this in the context.
Many thanks in advance!
Proposed translations (English)

really? then I wouldn't have a clue, I just searched the Net for similar words in English, not an expert.
Note from asker:
That makes sense, but how weird the customer should have repeated this typo... thank you very much!!

neutral D. I. Verrelli : "quantometro" is not English. "quantometer analysis" is OK; also "quantometrically" or "with a quantometer". https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/bunkou1951/8/1/8_1_19/_...
