Answer An analyte', component (in clinical chemistry), or chemical species is a substance or chemical constituent that is of interest in an analytical procedure. The purest substances are referred to as analytes. Example : 24 karat gold, NaCl, water, etc.

: 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). hope this helps have a bless night❤️❤️❤️
