How Does Flow Rate Influence HETP?

Points on how flow rate influence HETP are:

  • Changes in mobile-phase flow rate alter HETP values observed during chromatographic operation.
  • These changes reflect variations in the column length needed to achieve one theoretical separation stage under different transport conditions. 
  • Optimal flow rates minimize this required length and reduce HETP.
