separations
- 1Plural of separation.
The lab ran multiple separations to isolate each compound from the mixture.

Note
The plural covers only the countable uses of separation. As a condition (living in separation), the singular stays uncountable. Once each instance counts, the plural appears: repeated partings from family, couples' legal arrangements to live apart, the gaps and dividing places between things. So separations between the panels means several gaps, while separation between the panels can simply mean being apart.
