Definition

role held by a fluid when it is planned to be or is used in a chromatography process to percolate through or along the stationary phase

Explanatory Notes

In gas chromatography the expression carrier gas may be used for the mobile phase. In elution process the expression ‘eluent’ ‘is also used for the mobile phase.

Examples

  • Water as mobile phase in reverse-phase chromatography; acetonitrile used as mobile phase in HPLC; phosphate buffer as mobile phase in ion-exchange chromatography; methanol serving as mobile phase in normal-phase chromatography; gradient of water and acetonitrile as mobile phase in gradient elution; sodium chloride solution as mobile phase in size-exclusion chromatography

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

There are insufficient constructs to create necessary and sufficient conditions. In particular modeling of fluid is required.

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

MobilePhaseRole(x) → Role(x) ∧ ∃y(MaterialEntity(y) ∧ roleOf(x, y))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a ‘mobile phase role’ then x is a ‘role’ and x is the ‘role of’ some ‘material entity’
