Abstract
In many separation techniques, such as field flow fractionation, liquid chromatography and electro-phoresis, chemical species form bands that migrate at different velocities. If the data-digitization rate and excitation intensity are both set to be optimal for the fastest migrating band, to compensate for different band velocities, both the data-digitization rate and the excitation intensity are decreased as a function of time by a factor equal to the migration time of the fastest migrating band to the separation time.
