Abstract
A complete procedure is presented for quantitative estimation of both the separation performance and the retention pattern in an experimental multicomponent chromatogram obtained under programmed elution conditions. It is shown that, under a conventional good experimental setup, assuring limited peak width variation (±10%) and low peak asymmetry, the following quantities can be determined: peak capacity, saturation factor, peak tailing factor, number of single components (SC), and parameters of the SC interdistance distribution. The procedure is based on the experimental autocovariance function (EACVF) and power spectrum (EPS) of the experimental chromatogram handled by numerical methods previously presented and validated
