Column Performance Analysis

Method runs that include the Column Performance Test phase can be analyzed for

column performance. ChromLab software analyzes the performance of the column

in use and provides quality statistics including the number of theoretical plates (N),

the number of plates per meter (N/L), height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP),

and the reduced plate height (rHETP). The results appear in the Column

Performance tab in the table at the bottom of the Evaluation window and in the

chromatogram.

Column Performance — Settings

When you click Analyze Column Performance on the Analysis menu, the Column

Performance pane appears to the right of the chromatogram. The default settings in

the Settings tab are used to automatically calculate various column performance

attributes. You can change the default settings and choose which quality

measurements to calculate and display in the Column Performance table.
