liuotetut

Liuotetut is a Finnish term used as the past participle of the verb liuottaa, meaning dissolved or solubilized. In scientific Finnish, liuotetut describes substances or materials that have been dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. The term is commonly used in chemistry, pharmacology, environmental science, and laboratory contexts to distinguish dissolved material from the undissolved phase.

Linguistically, liuotetut is an adjective that forms with the standard -ut suffix on the past tense stem. It is typically used attributively (liuotetut aineet) or predicatively (aineet ovat liuotetut). It is not a standalone noun, but a modifier indicating the state of a substance.

In practice, liuotetut substances appear in phrases such as liuotetut näytteet, liuotetut liuokset, or liuotetut aineet, referring to samples, solutions, or materials that have been prepared by dissolution in a solvent. The concept is also relevant in extraction and sample preparation workflows, where compounds are extracted into a liquid phase for analysis.
