Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Retention Volume
The Retention Volume is defined as the volume of the mobile phase required to elute the solute from the column.
Symbol: VR
Measurement: VolumeUnit: L
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Unretained Mobile Phase Volume
The Unretained mobile phase volume is the amount of solute that travels through the column in the minimum possible time.
Symbol: Vm
Measurement: VolumeUnit: L
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
