Il est très rare qu'un solvant unique permette d'aboutir à des valeurs des facteurs de capacité convenables et surtout à une résolution optimale (on ne peut observer qu'une variation discontinue des facteurs de capacité et de la résolution lorsque l'on passe d'un solvant à un autre). C'est pourquoi on utilise très souvent des mélanges de solvants et plus particulièrement des mélanges binaires. 4, record 1, French, - coefficient%20de%20distribution%20massique
