What does ELUENT mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A solvent used to carry a sample through a chromatography column and wash out its components.
Eluent names the liquid that a chemist pumps through a column during chromatography to push a sample along and separate its components as they travel at different speeds. Choosing the right eluent, often a mixture of solvents, controls how quickly each substance moves and how cleanly the mixture separates into distinct bands. The word is built from the Latin eluere, meaning to wash out, the same root that gives English elute and elution. Laboratory manuals also accept the spelling eluant for the same substance, though eluent appears more often in current chemistry writing.
