German term

Unterschichtung

German to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
"Marker und vorbereitete Proben ... vorsichtig in die entsprechenden Geltaschen durch Unterschichtung des Laufpuffers einbringen." Part of a description of a process for determining protein content of a substance. I get the idea of what it means, but am not sure of how to express this elegantly.

to carefully add to form a lower layer

is the term I'm familiar with, e.g. when H2SO4 is added to chloroform in such a way that the liquids don't mix and the H2SO4 sinks to the bottom of the test receptacle.
