Preferred Label : aliquot;
Detailed label : aliquot in analytical chemistry;
IUPAC definition : A known amount of a homogeneous material, assumed to be taken with negligible sampling
error. The term is usually applied to fluids. The term 'aliquot' is usually used when
the fractional part is an exact divisor of the whole; the term 'aliquant' has been
used when the fractional part is not an exact divisor of the whole (e.g. a 15 ml portion
is an aliquant of 100 ml). When a laboratory sample or test sample is 'aliquoted'
or otherwise subdivided, the portions have been called split samples.;
