Dispersing solvent

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003301",
  "term": "Dispersing solvent",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A solvent used in liquid-liquid microextraction techniques to facilitate the rapid dispersion of a small volume of extraction solvent into an aqueous sample. This creates a large surface area for efficient mass transfer of analytes. The dispersing solvent must be miscible with both the aqueous phase and the extraction solvent.",
