1. What is Void Volume? The void volume (column void volume or dead volume) is the volume that the mobile phase occupies in a column. For instance, if 80% of the entire column’s capacity is filled up with stationary phase material, the void volume would be 20% of the total column volume. 2. How to Calculate …
