material entity with a mobile phase role

Semi-Formal Definition:

every instance of ‘mobile phase’ is defined as exactly an instance of ‘material entity’ that ‘has role’ some ‘mobile phase role’

Water as mobile phase in reverse-phase chromatography; acetonitrile used as mobile phase in HPLC; phosphate buffer as mobile phase in ion-exchange chromatography; methanol serving as mobile phase in normal-phase chromatography; a water-acetonitrile mixture serving as the mobile phase during gradient elution; sodium chloride solution as mobile phase in size-exclusion chromatography

Liquid used for column cleaning or sanitization after chromatography is completed; Air or nitrogen gas used for drying the column after elution (not used as percolating fluid during chromatography)
