Eluent strength on IC
Ion chromatography uses charge and size to separate different ions in a particular solution in
space. As was explained in the last experiment, the eluent (mobile phase) carries the analytes
through the column as they partition between the mobile and solid phase. The retention factor K
or K is useful to see how much the specific analyte is in the stationary phase.
