What Are the Key Parameters to Consider in Ion Exchange Chromatography?
Several critical parameters can influence the efficiency and resolution of ion exchange chromatography: - pH of the mobile phase: The pH can affect the charge of both the stationary phase and the analytes, influencing their interaction. - Ionic strength: Increasing the ionic strength of the mobile phase can help elute strongly bound ions from the column. - Flow rate: The speed at which the mobile phase travels through the column can impact separation quality.
