This calculator calculates the retention factor using retardation factor values.

The amount that each component of a mixture travels can be quantified using retention factors (Rf). The retention factor of a particular material is the ratio of the distance the spot moved above the origin to the distance the solvent front moved above the origin.

Retention Factor Calculation

Formula:

k = (1 - R) ÷ R

Where,

R = retardation factor

k = Retention factor
