What does ELUTE mean in Scrabble?
verb
chemistrytechnical
To wash out or remove an absorbed substance from a material by passing a solvent through it.
Elute is a chemistry term describing how a dissolved or trapped substance is carried out of a solid material, most often in laboratory techniques such as chromatography. A scientist might elute a compound from a column by passing a suitable solvent through it, collecting the separated substance as it emerges. The process, known as elution, is central to purifying and separating mixtures in biochemistry, pharmacology and analytical chemistry. Outside the laboratory the word is rarely used, since it names a fairly specific technical action.
