Chromatographic measurements of
migration rates of solutes
• Capacity Factor (k')
• k'= (tR – tm)/tm = tR' /tm
• The Selectivity Factor (α)
• α = k'B/k'A = (tR')B/(tR')A α>1
• k'Bis the capacity factor of the more retained solute k'A is
that for the more rapidly eluted solute
↑ α means more selective column &
more easier separation
