Science - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
German term or phrase: aufnehmen
From a thesis on spectroscopy, chapter "Probenaufarbeitung - eingebrannte Silionöle":

***Aufnehmen*** des extrahierten Silikonöls in 0.7 ml CDCl3 bzw. MeOD

I apologize for not giving more context, but the chapter only contains bullet points, so this is all the context I have.

I was thinking either "absorb" or "receive" might work?

dissolve
Explanation:
As neither Sabine nor bgrossmann have entered their suggestion, I would like to enter "dissolve" as the best answer.
As can be seen in bgrossmann's link, samples for NMR spectroscopy are dissolved in deuterated solvents e.g. CDCl3 or MEOD.

and many more.

PS: I am a chemist myself and have run numerous NMRs myself.

neutral  rainerc (X): your answer is not wrong, it's just hardly used in publications. // Any recent papers in chemical journals - or MSc/PhD thesis for that matter.

  -> Hi Rainer, That depends on what kind of "publications" you're talking about. If you're suggesting that e.g. "evaporated to dryness" and "taken up in" is not appropriate here, then I disagree. But fare thee well.
