title: Theory of peak capacity in gradient elution.
abstract: Peak capacity is the best measure of the performance of a gradient separation. In this paper, the theory of peak capacity for the standard operating conditions of reversed-phase and ion-exchange chromatography is outlined. The influence of the operating conditions on the peak capacity of a separation are discussed. Finally, bandspreading phenomena in gradient chromatography are analyzed.
