The nature of retention time changes in HPLC tends to fall into categories. Firstly, the retention time may "drift" over several injections or several analytical campaigns and secondly, the retention time may suddenly "jump to a different value between injections or between analytical campaigns (i.e. analyte retention times are very different to when that method was run last).
