Column cost is rising with column length.<br />

Film thickness.<br />

Most common 0.1 – 3 μm. Available 0.1 – 10 μm.<br />

The effect <strong>of</strong> film thickness is described by Van Deemter equation:<br />

H mass transfer =Cu x =C s C m u x<br />

where C s describe the rate <strong>of</strong> mass transfer trough stationary phase<br />

C s =<br />

where d is the thickness <strong>of</strong> stationary phase.<br />
