Testing experimental designs in liquid chromatography (I): Development and validation of a method for the comprehensive inspection of experimental designs

The basis of interpretive optimisation in liquid chromatography is the prediction of resolution, from appropriate solute retention models. The reliability of the process depends critically on the quality of the experimental design. This work develops, validates and applies a general methodology aimed to evaluate the quality of any training experimental design, which will be applied in Part II to design optimisation. The methodology is based on...
