What is the purpose of eluotropic series in chromatography?

Some points on purpose of eluotropic series in chromatography are:

  • The eluotropic series helps select an initial mobile phase by indicating solvents with low elution strength suitable for starting conditions.
  • It guides gradual solvent changes by showing how incremental increases in elution strength affect compound migration.
  • The series supports controlled separation by helping avoid solvent choices that cause premature or complete analyte elution.
