  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007624",
  "term": "Multicommutation flow extraction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A flow-based extraction technique that uses a network of solenoid-actuated micro-pumps or valves to precisely manage the insertion of sample and reagent plugs into a carrier stream. The system allows for independent software control over the timing and volume of each fluid segment, creating a highly flexible and automated process for sample preparation. This method is a form of programmable flow analysis specifically applied to liquid-liquid or solid-phase extraction.",
