The concept of gradient delay volume (GDV) in liquid chromatography (LC) poses challenges for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The GDV, which affects the arrival time of mobile phase composition changes at the column inlet, can have a significant impact on method throughput, influencing the time required for mobile phase changes at both the beginning and end of the LC method. Different pump designs and column characteristics affect efficient use of the available analysis time, as well as overall throughput. Notably, achieving repeatable equilibration, rather than full equilibration of LC columns following mobile phase gradients, is often sufficient for many LC applications, which can also be leveraged to increase method throughput.
