SubClass Of: bfo:role

Class Hierarchy

owl:Thing β€Ί bfo:entity β€Ί bfo:continuant β€Ί bfo:specifically dependent continuant β€Ί bfo:realizable entity β€Ί bfo:role β€Ί mobile phase role

Definition

role held by a fluid when it is planned to be or is used in a chromatography process to percolate through or along the stationary phase

Explanatory Notes

In gas chromatography, the expression β€˜carrier gas’ may be used for the mobile phase. In an elution process, the expression β€˜eluent’ is also used for the mobile phase.

Examples

  • the mobile phase role borne by phosphate buffer during ion-exchange chromatography; the mobile phase role borne by a water-acetonitrile mixture during reversed-phase liquid chromatography; the mobile phase role borne by helium during gas chromatography

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

There are insufficient constructs to create necessary and sufficient conditions. In particular modeling of fluid is required.

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

MobilePhaseRole(x) β†’ Role(x) ∧ βˆƒy(MaterialEntity(y) ∧ roleOf(x, y))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a β€˜mobile phase role’ then x is a β€˜role’ and x is the β€˜role of’ some β€˜material entity’
