filtrates
Passes through filters
Filtrates are liquids that have passed through a filter, leaving solid particles behind.
In laboratory and industrial contexts, the filtrate is what you collect after filtering a mixture: The filtrate was clear after the sediment was removed.
The singular filtrate also serves as a verb meaning to pass through a filter.
