Malvern Panalytical offers disposable folded cells named for this phenomenon to hold samples for zeta potential measurements. This phenomenon is quantified by the Bosanquet equation by accounting for inertia, in contrast to the Lucas–Washburn model. Bubble cells are used in an electrophoresis technique named after this phenomenon where analytes display nearly uniform electroosmotic profiles. Samples are sealed in a device that names this phenomenon before being placed into a convective Thiele tube for melting point analysis. This phenomenon causes solvents to move along silica plates in thin-layer chromatography. This phenomenon occurs when adhesion exceeds cohesion and can manifest as meniscuses. For 10 points, liquids move against gravity in what phenomenon that also names the smallest blood vessels? ■END■
ANSWER: capillary action [or capillary effect; accept capillary electrophoresis or capillary zone electrophoresis or CE or CZE; accept folded capillary cells; prompt on adhesion or cohesion until read; prompt on electrophoresis or electroosmosis until read; prompt on surface tension by asking “what macroscopic phenomenon does that cause?”]
