In this instalment, we focus on the impact of elution mode (isocratic or gradient) and postcolumn flow splitting on the total level of extracolumn dispersion (ECD) in a liquid chromatography (LC) system, and demonstrate the use of a free, web-based calculator that can be used to guide decision making aimed at reducing ECD during method development.
In the final article of this series on extracolumn dispersion, we look at elution mode, post-column flow splitting, and a free calculator to use during method development.
