Isolaatteille

Isolaatteille is Finnish for the allative form of the noun isolaatte, referring to substances that have been isolated (the plural form isolaatteet is commonly used in this context). The allative case marked by the suffix -lle indicates the destination or recipient of the isolates, roughly translating to “to the isolates” or “for the isolates” in English. In Finnish grammar, isolaatteille is used primarily to specify where something is directed or allocated when discussing isolated substances in technical or scientific texts.

In practice, isolaatteille appears in contexts such as laboratory protocols, experimental descriptions, and product labeling where the text refers to materials, samples, or compounds that have been isolated. The base term isolaatte is used across fields like chemistry, microbiology, and biochemistry to denote substances that have been separated from a mixture, or organisms that have been isolated for study. A common related form is proteiinisolaatit (protein isolates), illustrating how isolaatteille can be combined with descriptors to indicate allocation to a specific isolate group.

The term is predominantly linguistic and technical. In everyday Finnish, references to isolates are far less frequent, and the allative form isolaatteille is not typically encountered outside professional texts. See also isolaatteet, proteiinisolaatit, and related terms such as isolaatioprosessit.
