What does ELUATE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
The solution that comes out of a chromatography column, carrying the substance that has been separated from a mixture.
Eluate names the liquid collected at the far end of a chromatography column after the eluent has carried a sample through it and washed out one of its components. Where eluent is the solvent going in, eluate is the resulting solution coming out, now containing whatever substance the process managed to separate. Chemists collect the eluate in fractions, testing each portion to find where the compound they want has concentrated. The distinction between eluate and eluent trips up students precisely because the two words look and sound so similar despite naming opposite ends of the same process.
