  "term": "Selective elution",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The process in chromatography where a specific component or group of components is preferentially removed from a stationary phase by using an eluent with tailored properties. This is achieved by carefully choosing the solvent strength, pH, or ionic strength of the mobile phase. Selective elution is a key strategy for separating complex mixtures and purifying target analytes.",
