  "term": "Coextraction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The simultaneous extraction of two or more different chemical species from a sample matrix into an extracting phase. This can occur when multiple analytes have similar physicochemical properties that favor their partitioning into the same solvent or sorbent. It can be a desired outcome for group analysis or an interference if only one analyte is targeted.",
