The useful distinction on Relative retention time is between what was measured and what was inferred from it. Both end up in the same sentence and only one of them has error bars.

I had written a reply contradicting post #5 and deleted it. Here is what survived.

The most useful single question about a method: what would it fail to detect? Every method has an answer and few documents state it.

Scoping that to what I have actually seen rather than what I have read.

Everything in post #5 holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have.

Relative retention time has been discussed here with more heat than it deserves, mostly because two definitions have been in play the whole time.

e.almeida, post #1: Relative retention time as a better inter-laboratory comparator — does this still hold? I have a specific reason for asking rather than idle curiosity, and the context is below. What changes if the standard account of Relative retention time is wrong? I ask because I have been treating it as settled and I noticed this week that I could… Go to post

Everything in post #8 holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have.

Nobody has said the unglamorous part of Relative retention time yet, so: most of the variation is explained by things that are boring to write about and easy to check.

f.wojcik, post #14: System suitability is the ongoing evidence that a validated method is still performing. Validation is done once; suitability is done every run, and it is the one that appears on a certificate. I have no interest in any supplier named above. Go to post

Peak purity assessment using a diode-array detector checks whether a peak is spectrally homogeneous. It is a weak test and it is better than not looking.
