RRT Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the RRT.
RRT = Ta / Tr
Variables:
- RRT is the RRT ( )
- Ts is the retention time for analyte
- Tr is the retention time for reference
To calculate the relative retention time (RRT), divide the retention time for analyte by the retention time for reference.
How to Calculate RRT?
The following steps outline how to calculate the RRT.
- First, determine the retention time for analyte.
- Next, determine the retention time for reference.
- Next, gather the formula from above = RRT = Ta / Tr.
- Finally, calculate the RRT.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
retention time for analyte = 40
retention time for reference = 30
RRT = Ta / Tr = ?
