Pellicular Resin
A resin with a solid, nonporous core coated with a thin layer of more porous
material. The exchange sites of pellicular ion exchange resins are located only on
the surface layer of the bead. These resins have a low ion-exchange capacity.
Pre-Column
Synonymous with Guard Column .
Regenerant
A dilute acid or base which converts ion exchange sites in the suppressor back to
the form which will suppress the eluent conductivity.

Resolution (R)
A measure of the separation between two sample components. It is expressed as
the ratio of the distance between the two peak maxima to the mean value of the
peak width at the baseline.
R = 2(t
2
- t
1
)/(W
2
+ W
1
)
Where: t
1
and t
2
= the retention times of components 1 and 2,
respectively
W
1
and W
1
= the baseline width of peaks 1 and 2,
respectively (measured in the same units as the retention
time)
R is proportional to the square root of efficiency (N). A value of R = 1.5
represents “baseline separation” of the two peaks.
Retention Time
The time from injection to peak maximum; the basis for identification of a species
in chromatographic analysis.
Separator Column
The column used to perform a chromatographic separations; also called analytical
column.
Siemens (S)
Unit measure of conductance; the reciprocal of the electrical resistance of a
solution.
