German term or phrase: Abnahme
Abnahme 10,0 ml auf 100.0 ml Methanol/Wasser (50/50 V/V)

There are some 67 entries in the glossary. I am not sure whether here it means
"deliver" or "make available". ? Thanks

Clarification request(s) and response
Ingrid Blank: 12:01am Dec 24, 2007: More context would be helpful. "Deliver" or "make available" does not fit here, sounds more like reduction by 10 ml to 100 ml
Zareh Darakjian Ph.D.: 12:09am Dec 24, 2007: Thank you, Ingrid. The only other thing is that this comes under the title:

Messlösung

Then it says: Abnahme 10,0 ml auf 100,0 ml Methanol/Wasser (50/50 V/V). Then that's the end of the sentence... there is not continuation to this sentence. Is Abnahme here an imparative as "take ...or something of that nature..?
sibsab: 3:20am Dec 24, 2007: I believe, it's more something like: take 10 mL (of whatever) and add it to 100 mL Methanol/Water.
Zareh Darakjian Ph.D.: 12:27pm Dec 24, 2007: I encounter later in the text: Verdünnung Abnahme, Lösung A 10,0

It seems that it is "dilution factor"... Any thoughts? Thanks
Friederike2: 4:11pm Dec 24, 2007: I do not believe that this is the case. It states 'abnahme', which means remove or reduce - it is not a Verduennung.

Thank you, Friederike. I don't think it's exactly reduction... but may be testing 10.0 ml from the original 110 or something...

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree sibsab: Was ist denn dann Abnahme von 10 mL auf 100 mL? Das waere dann ja eher Zunahme.
58 mins
  -> Wenn die Abnahme 10ml ist, und es am Schluss noch 100ml hat faengt es wahrscheinlich mit 110 ml an..kommt darauf an wie es weiter geht, vielleicht wird nur 100 ml gebraucht. As pointed out, it is not real clear.
