| neutral spirits | Spirits distilled from suitable raw materials, are 95% ethanol (v/v) that is, at least 190 proof when distilled. Used for blending with straight whiskey and for making gin, cordials, liqueurs, and vodka. See: alcohol. Proof spirit, dilute alcohol, specific gravity 0.920, containing 49.5% by weight (57.27% by volume) of C2H5OH at 15.56캜. Originally in Great Britain it was the weakest alcohol that would permit ignition of gunpowder moistened with it. British proof spirit has a specific gravity of 0.9198 and contains 49.2% C2H5OH by weight, or 57.1% by volume at the temperature of 10.56캜. (05 Mar 2000) |

| neutral stain | <technique> A compound of an acid stain and a basic stain, such as the eosinate of methylene blue, in which the anion and cation each contains a chromophore group. Synonym: salt dye. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neutral stimulus | When paired with the unconditioned stimulus in simultaneous presentation to an organism, capable of eliciting a given response. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neutral zone | In dentistry, the potential space between the lips and cheeks on one side and the tongue on the other; natural or artificial teeth in this zone are subject to equal and opposite forces from the surrounding musculature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neutral-density filter | <equipment> A light-absorbing filter whose absorption spectrum is moderately flat. Depending on the type, the absorption curve is flat primarily in the visible spectral range, or may extend to varying degrees beyond the visible range. For video microscopy, this is an important point since the absorbance may or may not extend into the near-infrared region where the sensitivity of many video image pickup devices is very high.

| neutralization tests | Titration of an antiserum by testing a series of dilutions of virus or immune serum to a given end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (cpe) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (id50) or die (ld50).

| neutralize | 1. To render neutral; to reduce to a state of neutrality. "So here I am neutralized again." (Sir W. Scott) 2. <chemistry> To render inert or imperceptible the peculiar affinities of, as a chemical substance; to destroy the effect of; as, to neutralize an acid with a base. 3. To destroy the peculiar or opposite dispositions of; to reduce to a state of indifference inefficience; to counteract; as, to neutralize parties in government; to neutralize efforts, opposition, etc. "Counter citations that neutralize each other."
