By use of the exponentially modified Gaussian (EMG) as the skewed peak model, empirical equations based solely on the graphically measurable retention time, peak width at 10% peak height, W0A, and the empirical asymmetryfactor, B/A, have been developed for the accurate and precise calculation of parameters (termed chromatographic figures of merit (CFOMs)) characterizing both Ideal (Gaussian) and skewed chromatographic peaks. These CFOMs Include: the number of theoretical plates (observed efficiency), A/SYS; the maxi-mum efficiency attainable If all asymmetry Is eliminated,/V^; the EMG peak parameters, fQ,< xQ, and t; the first through fourth statistical moments; the peak skew and peak excess, ys and; and two new CFOMs—the relative system efficiency, RSE, and the relative plate loss, RPL. Equations for the number of theoretical plates and the second central mo-ment (variance) are accurate to within±1.5% for 1.00< B/A< 2.76. Width and B/A measurements at 10% peak height are recommended.In recent years there has been considerable interest in the characterization of experimental chromatographic peaks. Presented in Table I are the names, symbols, and general expressions that have evolved for theparameters used in chromatographic peak characterization. It is proposed that these parameters be referred to collectively as chromatographic figures of merit (CFOMs). These CFOMs have been estimatedeither by hand (manual) calculation using graphical measurements made directly from the chromatogram or by a computer following data ac-
