eluted

Rinsed chemically out

Eluted is the past tense of elute, a chemistry term meaning to wash out or extract a substance by passing a solvent through a material.

In chromatography, compounds are eluted when they're separated and carried off a column by a moving liquid or gas: The sample was eluted with methanol.

The noun is eluate—the solution that emerges.
