Definition

role held by a material entity when it neither passes through nor becomes captured by a particular filter during a filtration process

Explanatory Notes

Here, β€˜captured by’ includes being adsorbed to, absorbed by, entrapped within, or otherwise captured by the filter.

Examples

  • protein-containing material remaining during tangential-flow ultrafiltration; cell-containing material remaining during cell-retention filtration

Counter-Examples

  • protein material adsorbed to an ultrafiltration membrane during filtration; cell debris entrapped within a depth filter during clarification

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 a set of necessary and sufficient conditions

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

RetentateRole(x) β†’ Role(x) ∧ βˆƒm (MaterialEntity(m) ∧ roleOf(x, m))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a β€˜retentate role’ then x is a β€˜role’ that is the β€˜role of’ some β€˜material entity’
