Swimming above; floating on the surface; as, oil supernatant on water.
The liquid remaining after solids suspended in the liquid have been sedimented by gravity or by centrifugation. Contrasted with the solid sediment, or (in centrifugation) the pellet.
Liquid removed from settled sludge. Supernatant commonly refers to the liquid between the sludge on the bottom and the water surface of a basin or container.
Floating on the surface, or relates to the clear fluid over a sediment or precipitate. In this lab, used to describe the layer of fluid that is over the centrifuged particulate matter.
The clear liquid lying above a sediment or precipitate.
The liquid layer that is drawn off the top of the basin after settling. It should be relatively clear and free of solids. AKA decant.
a liquid lying above a sediment (floating on the surface)
of a liquid; floating on the surface above a sediment or precipitate; "the supernatant fat was skimmed off"
The liquid above a tissue culture preparation.
Liquid above the settled sludge layer in a sedimentation basin.
Liquid above settled solids.
a usually clear liquid left after material (like cells) has been precipitated or centrifuged.
the fluid lying above a precipitate in a centrifuge following the centrifugation of a suspension
material floating on the surface of a liquid mixture (often the liquid component that has the lowest density).
The usually clear liquid overlying material deposited by settling, precipitation or centrifugation.
The material remaining above the pellet after centrifugation of a suspension. ( 10)
