Resolution (chromatographic) definition

 A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M  N  O  P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z

 


The resolution (Rs) between two peaks in a chromatogram is given by: where Z is the separation between peaks A and B; and Wa and Wb are the widths at the base of peaks A and B, respectively. Acceptable resolution is on the order of Rs = 1.0, and baseline resolution between two peaks (as shown in the figure) requires an Rs > 1.5.
