Spanish term or phrase: en seco
Source: Sobre cartucho HLB de 1 cc (30 mg) previamente acondicionados (2 x 1ml de metanol y 2 x 1 ml de agua destilada filtrada por 0,45 µ) se carga en seco el sobrenadante.

Not quite sure what is "en seco" here - the cartridge? the supernatant? It's chromatography testing, btw.

TIA, MJ

Explanation:
I think they are talking about sample loading methods: dry loading and wet loading. (See reference).
The way it is written, I understand they load the supernatant over the cartridge. I would then say "Dry load the supernatant over the 1cc HLB cartdrige ..."
