Selektivitätsfaktor
The Selektivitätsfaktor, also known as the selectivity factor, is a measure used in the field of chromatography to describe the ability of a stationary phase to separate different components of a mixture. It is defined as the ratio of the retention factors (k') of two compounds. The retention factor, k', is a measure of how much a compound is retained by the stationary phase compared to the mobile phase. A higher Selektivitätsfaktor indicates a greater ability to separate the two compounds, as the difference in their retention times is more pronounced.
The Selektivitätsfaktor is particularly important in the development and optimization of chromatographic methods. It helps in
In gas chromatography (GC), the Selektivitätsfaktor is influenced by the choice of stationary phase and the
The Selektivitätsfaktor is also used in the calculation of separation efficiency and resolution in chromatography. Resolution,
In summary, the Selektivitätsfaktor is a crucial parameter in chromatography that reflects the ability of a
