Retardation Factor Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

This calculator calculates the retardation factor using quantity of substance in the mobile phase, total quantity of substance in the system values.

In chromatography, the retardation factor (R) is the fraction of an analyte in the mobile phase of a chromatographic system.

Retardation Factor Calculation

Formula:

R = Qmb ÷ TQs

Where,

Qmb = Quantity of substance in the mobile phase

TQs = Total quantity of substance in the system

R = Retardation factor
