German term or phrase: Aufzug
I hope this will be my last question from the series of chromatography protocols which I am translating!

The ETI samples have been equilibrated and a little further on there is a heading Aufzug und Chrmatographie.......

Then there is a sentence "Beim Start Aufzug ist die Standzeit der recSerETI-Säule zu prüfen"

The verb aufziehen appears several times in the text and I have translated this as to "draw up" (into the column). Is Aufzug therefore simply "drawing up"?

drawing up
Explanation:
Yes, you are quite right. 'Start Aufzug' probably refers to drawing up the mobile phase through the column after it had been in storage. It could also refer to drawing up the sample onto the column.

See for example:

and

and look for 'aufgezogen'

After the sample has been applied on the plate, a solvent or solvent mixture (known as the mobile phase) is drawn up the plate via capillary action.
