title: Graphical data representation methods to assess the quality of LC columns.
abstract: We discuss the most important plot types for the kinetic performance of liquid chromatography columns and elaborate on how these plots should best be constructed and can be made dimensionless. Distinction is made between plots that are most suited for practitioners (column users) versus those most suited for theoreticians and column manufacturers.
