Sources of Variation in Retention Time in Chromatography

Points on Sources of Variation in Retention Time in Chromatography:

Variation in retention time can occur due to small changes in operating conditions between chromatographic runs. Differences in flow rate stability, temperature control, or mobile phase composition may cause measurable shifts in retention time. These sources of variation highlight the need for consistent conditions when comparing retention time values.
