Retention Time in Method of Separation Technique Formulas

The Retention Time of solute is defined as the time taken by the solute to move over the stationary phase and to come out of the column. And is denoted by t_r. Retention Time is usually measured using the Second for Time. Note that the value of Retention Time is always negative.
