Which of the following would not shorten a run?

Lengthening the column

Raising the flow rate

Steepening the gradient

Raising the column temperature

  • A.Lengthening the column
  • B.Raising the flow rate
  • C.Steepening the gradient
  • D.Raising the column temperature

Answer: A

Lengthening the column increases both the retention time and the back pressure, so the run takes longer. The other three all shorten it, at some cost in resolution or in column life. Because every route to speed spends something - resolution, pressure or the column's lifetime - choosing between them means deciding which of those is most readily afforded.
