Residence Time Calculator
Here you can relate the volume of your column to the flow rate and thus calculate easily the exact residence time. All you need to do is select between linear or volumetric flow and then enter the required values – the appropriate residence time will be displayed in the results. Use the residence time calculator for better results.
Accurate Flow Control with
the YMC Residence Time Calculator
Precise residence time plays a key role in chromatographic method development and scale-up. The YMC Residence Time Calculator helps you determine how long your sample stays inside the column under specific flow conditions. Whether you're working with linear or volumetric flow, this tool makes it easy to calculate the exact residence time based on your column and flow parameters—saving time and improving method reliability.
What is a Residence Time Calculator?
A residence time calculator is a digital tool used in chromatography to determine how long a sample remains inside the column bed during a separation process. This is a critical parameter when optimizing retention, resolution, and reproducibility—especially in preparative and scale-up workflows. With the YMC tool, you can choose between linear flow (mm/h) or volumetric flow (mL/min) and enter your column’s bed length and inner diameter (if needed). Based on your input, the calculator instantly provides the residence time in minutes.
