Figure 19 : Mobile phase table according to H. Halpaap - E. MERCK In addition to the data in figure 19 here are the “Halpaap polarity numbers” ordering the elution strength on silica layers . The “kappa value” describes the speed of phase penetration into a 0.2 mm thick layer (unit = square mm per second). The Halpaap numbers have been used in figure 19 .
