What is the optimal flow rate range for ACQUITY UPLC reverse-phase columns to maximize the Van Deemter curves for the particle size? - WKB224746

Article number: 224746

ENVIRONMENT

  • Flow rate optimization
  • ACQUITY UPLC columns

ANSWER

Sub-2µm particles become more efficient in the flow rate range of 0.4 to 1.0 mL/min. Different compounds have different optimal flow rates, but every separation is a balance of physical limitations (system pressure, system plumbing, loading capacity).
