Resolution and tailing factor: real acceptance criteria

Resolution and tailing factor: real acceptance criteria Writing it up because I had to work it out twice and would rather nobody else did.

Asking about resolution and tailing factor on behalf of the question I keep seeing asked badly, including by me.

Framed properly it is answerable. Framed the usual way it is not, and that is most of why the previous threads went nowhere.

Narrowing the opening post, because the general version has more than one answer.

Particle size and column dimensions determine what resolution is achievable at all. A 5 micrometre 250 millimetre column and a sub-2 micrometre 100 millimetre column are different instruments in practice.

No disagreement from me. Posting only so the question does not look ignored.
