Question: what are analyte in chemistry?
Answer: Analyte: A substance being analyzed by (for example) mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, or chromatography. In NMR spectroscopy, the analyte is often a solution in a deuterated solvent such deuterochloroform (CDCl3; chloroform-D) or deuterated water (heavy water; D2O).
