saturation capacity

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.10185
Volume at which the concentration of analyte at the exit of a sampling device is the same as the sample concentration.
Notes:
  1. The saturation capacity corresponds to \(V_{\rm{C}}\) in the figure in breakthrough volume.
  2. The saturation capacity is the sample volume that results in the isolation of the maximum amount of analyte, but with a lower overall recovery because a fraction of the sample is lost.
