| solution of contiguity | The breaking of contiguity; a dislocation or displacement of two normally contiguous parts. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| solution of continuity | Division of bones or soft parts that are normally continuous, as by a fracture, a laceration, or an incision. Synonym: dieresis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| solution pressure | The force driving atoms or molecules to leave a solid particle and enter into solution (i.e., to dissolve). (05 Mar 2000) |
| standard solution | Standardised solution, a solution of known concentration, used as a standard of comparison or analysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Dakin's solution | A bactericidal wound irrigant. Synonym: Dakin's fluid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| supersaturated solution | A solution containing more of the solid than the liquid would ordinarily dissolve; it is made by heating the solvent when the substance is added, and on cooling the latter is retained without precipitation; addition of a crystal or solid of any kind usually results in precipitation of the excess solute, leaving a saturated solution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Denhardt's solution | A solution commonly used during probe hybridisations that involve filters (such as Southern, Northern, or Western blots). The solution contains ficoll, bovine serum albumin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and a high concentration of non-specific DNA so the probe will not hybridise non-specifically. (12 Jan 1998) |
| disclosing solution | A solution that selectively stains all soft debris, pellicle, and bacterial plaque on teeth; used as an aid in identifying bacterial plaque after rinsing with water. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isotonic solution | One that has the same salt concentration as cells and blood. (12 Dec 1998) |
| test solution | A solution of some reagent, in definite strength, used in chemical analysis or testing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Earle's solution | A tissue culture medium containing CaCl2, MgSO4, KCl, NaHCO3, NaCl, NaH2PO4-H2O, and glucose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrolyte solution | <chemistry> A solution containing charged atoms or molecules. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ethereal solution | A solution of any substance in ether. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Tyrode's solution | A modified Locke's solution; it contains 8 g of NaCl, 0.2 g of KCl, 0.2 g of CaCl2, 0.1 g of MgCl2, 0.05 g of NaH2PO4, 1 g of NaHCO3, 1 g of d-glucose, and water to make 1000 ml; used to irrigate the peritoneal cavity, and in laboratory work. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fehling's solution | An alkaline copper tartrate solution formerly used for detection of reducing sugars. Synonym: Fehling's reagent. (05 Mar 2000) |
