Example chromatogram showing signal as a function of retention time. In chromatography, resolution is a measure of the separation of two peaks of different retention time t in a chromatogram. [1] [2] [3] [4]
In chromatography, the retardation factor (R) is the fraction of an analyte in the mobile phase of a chromatographic system. [1] In planar chromatography in particular, the retardation factor R F is defined as the ratio of the distance traveled by the center of a spot to the distance traveled by the solvent front. [2]
The [N 1/2 /4] term is the column factor, the [(α-1)/α] term is the thermodynamic factor, and the [k 2 '/(1+k 2 ')] term is the retention factor. The 3 factors are not completely independent, but they are very close, and can be treated as such.
The Purnell equation is an equation used in analytical chemistry to calculate the resolution R s between two peaks in a ... k ' 2 is the retention factor of the ...
Each chromatogram peak will have its own retention factor (e.g., kappa1 for the retention factor of the first peak). This factor may be corrected for by the void volume of the column. Separation factor (alpha) is a relative comparison on how well two neighboring components of the mixture were separated (i.e., two neighboring bands on a ...
In gas chromatography, the Kovats retention index (shorter Kovats index, retention index; plural retention indices) is used to convert retention times into system-independent constants. The index is named after the Hungarian-born Swiss chemist Ervin Kováts , who outlined the concept in the 1950s while performing research into the composition ...
The van Deemter equation is a hyperbolic function that predicts that there is an optimum velocity at which there will be the minimum variance per unit column length and, thence, a maximum efficiency. The van Deemter equation was the result of the first application of rate theory to the chromatography elution process.
Retention distance, or R D, is a concept in thin layer chromatography, designed for quantitative measurement of equal-spreading of the spots on the chromatographic plate and one of the Chromatographic response functions. It is calculated from the following formula:
