This process’s Lui easy freeze variant is used to isolate red blood cell antibodies during freeze-thaw cycles. This process is performed multiple times in succession in a technique’s “heart cutting” variant. Improperly calibrated rates of this process can result in “fronting” or “tailing,” as exemplified by 2,2′-bipy (“BIP-pee”) in the presence of metal contamination. Methanol and acetonitrile concentrations are varied in the gradient mode of this process but not in its isocratic mode. Performing this process on multiple analytes can cause a trade-off between peak broadening and retention time known as this process’s “general problem.” During this process, an analyte loses contact with a stationary phase after interacting with a mobile phase. For 10 points, name this process in which a compound is removed from a column during chromatography. ■END■
ANSWER: elution [or general elution problem; accept isocratic elution or gradient elution; accept Lui easy freeze elution; prompt on any form of chromatography by asking “what step?”]
