## Description

This MCP server provides analytical chemists with essential tools to evaluate chromatographic separation. Use `calculate_resolution` to determine how well two peaks are separated, or `calculate_column_efficiency` to find the number of theoretical plates and HETP. You can also use `analyze_van_deemter_impact` to identify factors causing peak broadening and `predict_resolution_change` to estimate how column modifications will affect separation quality.

## Tools

### analyze_van_deemter_impact
Analyze the impact of Van Deemter parameters on peak broadening

### calculate_column_efficiency
Calculate column efficiency (N and HETP)

### calculate_resolution
Calculate the resolution factor between two peaks

### predict_resolution_change
Predict how changing column parameters affects resolution

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the resolution for two peaks with retention times of 5.0 and 5.5 minutes, and peak widths of 0.2 and 0.25 minutes.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated resolution factor is 1.22, with a separation distance of 0.5 minutes.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the column efficiency for a peak with a retention time of 10.0 minutes and a width of 0.5 minutes?
```

**Response:** 
```
The column has 400 theoretical plates and an HETP of 0.025 (assuming a 10 unit column length).
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the new resolution if the current resolution is 2.0 and the efficiency increases by 20%.
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted resolution is 2.19.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the separation between two peaks?**
You can use the `calculate_resolution` tool by providing the retention times and base widths for both peaks.

**Can I estimate the impact of flow rate on peak broadening?**
Yes, the `analyze_van_deemter_impact` tool allows you to analyze how eddy diffusion, longitudinal diffusion, and mass transfer contribute to the total HETP at a specific flow rate.

**How is column efficiency measured?**
Efficiency is measured using the number of theoretical plates (N) and the Height Equivalent to a Theoretical Plate (HETP), which can be calculated via `calculate_column_efficiency`.
