Chromatography Peak Resolution Calculator
Calculate resolution Rs from peak retention times and baseline widths.
Rs = 2 × |tR2 − tR1| / (w1 + w2)
Enter nonnegative retention times and strictly positive baseline widths in one time unit. Use baseline widths, not half-height widths. This number alone does not determine whether an experiment is adequate.

A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter the values in one common time unit, then calculate.
- Enter nonnegative retention times and strictly positive baseline widths in one time unit. Use baseline widths, not half-height widths. This number alone does not determine whether an experiment is adequate.
Formula
Rs = 2 × |tR2 − tR1| / (w1 + w2)
Input basis
