Linear chromatography

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006613",
  "term": "Linear chromatography",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chromatographic process where the distribution isotherm for the analyte between the stationary and mobile phases is linear. This implies that the retention time or volume of a compound is independent of its concentration, leading to symmetrical peak shapes. It is the ideal behavior often sought in analytical separations.",
