An information theoretical derivation of the optimal separation expressed in required column length of chromatographical peaks is given. The criterion is the precision of the estimation of the peak intensities. Fully separated peaks happened to be not optimal: a much lower resolution corresponding w

β¦ Synopsis
An extension to Shannon's information theory, permitting to calculate the channel capacity of a chromatographic column, is proposed. The channel capacity determines the maximum amount of information passing through the column and with that the uncertainty (error) of the peak area estimation. The possibility to calculate the efficiency of a chromatographic system in terms of information theory is proposed. The properties of signal and noise have to be described by the power spectral density function. Knowing that the properties of a peak are dependent on the retention time, the change of the information rate can be calculated as a function of the retention time of the peak.
