How is resolution calculated in chromatography?

  • Chromatographic resolution is calculated using the difference in retention times of two adjacent peaks divided by the average width of those peaks.
  • Resolution increases when peak separation in time becomes larger relative to peak spreading caused by band broadening.
  • Resolution values provide a standardized way to compare separation performance between different chromatographic conditions or systems.
