A stationary phase is a substance that shows different affinities for different components in a sample mixture in a separation of the mixture by chromatography. The mobile phase (a solution containing [..]

In chromatography, the stationary phase is a granular or poriferous solid that holds back small molecules. The interplay of the mobile and stationary phase result in the separation of molecular specie [..]

A phase in bacterial growth were there is no increase or decrease of the bacterial numbers.

The plateau of the growth curve after log growth, during which cell number remains constant. New cells are produced at the same rate as older cells die.

That stage in the bacterial growth curve when nutrients begin to be depleted and population size remains constant. Read more about bacterial growth stages

Third of 4 microbial growth phases. As nutrients are depleted and waste products accumulate, cells begin to die. The stationary phase is reached when the growth rate is equal to the rate at which the cells die. Depending upon species and availability of food sources, this phase can be from 24 hours to 30 days.
