Eluate vs. Elution — What's the Difference?

A solution obtained by elution.

In analytical and organic chemistry, elution is the process of extracting one material from another by washing with a solvent; as in washing of loaded ion-exchange resins to remove captured ions. In a liquid chromatography experiment, for example, an analyte is generally adsorbed, or "bound to", an adsorbent in a liquid chromatography column.

The solution of solvent and dissolved matter resulting from elution.

To extract (one material) from another, usually by means of a solvent.

A liquid solution that results from elution

(analytical chemistry) The process of removing materials that are absorbed with a solvent.

To subject or be subjected to elution

The process of extracting one material from another by washing with a solvent to remove adsorbed material from an adsorbent (as in washing of loaded ion-exchange resins to remove captured ions); used to obtain uranium ions
