Figure 2. Plot of HETP vs. linear velocity for pyrene on a 0.30 mm i.d. (blue) and a 0.20 mm i.d. (green) column. The mobile phase was n-pentane at 210 °C and 32 atm
The high efficiency demonstrated above with capillary supercritical fluid chromatography is a good reason for pursuing this research. Other facts of importance also appear. For separations where both selectivity and high column efficiency are needed (e.g., resolution of certain isomeric substances), it may be of advantage that the interaction of solute and mobile phase molecules can be sensitively adjusted by pressure. In addition, while gradient elution techniques are needed to "program" solute retention in liq-
