| domestic soap | Soap made with sodium hydroxide and a purified animal fat consisting chiefly of stearin; used in pharmacy in the preparation of certain liniments. Synonym: curd soap, domestic soap, tallow soap. (05 Mar 2000) |

| insoluble soap | Soap made with a fatty acid and an earthy or metallic base (iron or calcium salts of fatty acids). (05 Mar 2000) |
| tallow soap | Soap made with sodium hydroxide and a purified animal fat consisting chiefly of stearin; used in pharmacy in the preparation of certain liniments. Synonym: curd soap, domestic soap, tallow soap. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gas-liquid chromatography | <technique> A chemistry lab technique, a type of column chromatography, used to separate the components of a mixed substance. The substance is held stationary by an inert solid coated with an inert liquid which is not likely to evaporate (i.e. Is nonvolatile), while a gas (called an eluant) flows past it bringing out the components one at a time.

| chromatography, high pressure liquid | Liquid chromatographic techniques which feature high inlet pressures, high sensitivity, and high speed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chromatography, liquid | Chromatographic techniques in which the mobile phase is a liquid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| clear liquid diet | A diet, often used postoperatively, consisting usually of water, tea, coffee, gelatin preparations, and clear soups or broth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Cotunnius' liquid | <anatomy> The fluid which surrounds the membranous labyrinth of the internal ear, and separates it from the walls of the chambers in which the labyrinth lies. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| heavy liquid petrolatum | <chemical> A mixture of liquid hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum. It is used as laxative, lubricant, ointment base, and emollient. Pharmacological action: cathartic, emollients, ointment bases. Chemical name: Hydrocarbon oils (12 Dec 1998) |
| high-performance liquid chromatography | <investigation> A lab technique, a type of column chromatography, which uses a combination of several separation techniques to separate substances at higher resolution. Extremely sharp peaks on the elution profile can be produced with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). (09 Oct 1997) |
| high-pressure liquid chromatography | <investigation> A lab technique, a type of column chromatography, which uses a combination of several separation techniques to separate substances at higher resolution.

| immersion liquid | <microscopy> Any liquid occupying the space between the object and microscope objective. Such a liquid is usually required by objectives of 3-mm focal length or less. For best results (i.e., resolution) the liquid should be used between the condenser and the microscope slide. Immersion objectives for transmitted light are designed for use with either oil, glycerin, or water, the refractive index of the liquid and the coverslip (if any) being the determining factor. The liquid and the front lens of the objective should ideally coincide in index and in dispersion value. See: homogeneous immersion objective (05 Aug 1998) |
| full liquid diet | A diet consisting only of liquids but including cream soups, ice cream, and milk. (05 Mar 2000) |
| liquid | 1. A substance whose parts change their relative position on the slightest pressure, and therefore retain no definite form; any substance in the state of liquidity; a fluid that is not aeriform. Liquid and fluid are terms often used synonymously, but fluid has the broader signification. All liquids are fluids, but many fluids, as air and the gases, are not liquids. 2. A letter which has a smooth, flowing sound, or which flows smoothly after a mute; as, l and r, in bla, bra. M and n also are called liquids. Liquid measure, a measure, or system of measuring, for liquids, by the gallon, quart, pint, gill, etc. 1. Flowing freely like water; fluid; not solid. "Yes, though he go upon the plane and liquid water which will receive no step." (Tyndale) 2. <physics> Being in such a state that the component parts move among themselves, but do not tend to separate from each other as the particles of gases and vapors do; neither solid nor aeriform; as, liquid mercury, in distinction from mercury solidified or in a state of vapor. 3. Flowing or sounding smoothly or without abrupt transitions or harsh tones. "Liquid melody." 4. Pronounced without any jar or harshness; smooth; as, l and r are liquid letters. 5. Fluid and transparent; as, the liquid air. 6. Clear; definite in terms or amount. "Though the debt should be entirely liquid." Liquid glass. See Soluble glass, under Glass. Origin: L. Liquidus, fr. Liquere to be fluid or liquid; cf. Skr. Ri to ooze, drop, li to melt. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| liquid air | Air that, by means of intense cold and pressure, has been liquefied. (05 Mar 2000) |
