For enhanced throughput, fast RPLC methods using monolithic silica columns [238], small size particles (3 pm) packed columns [173, 195, 226, 235-237, 239, 240], ultra high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) columns packed with sub-2 pm particles [145,196, 227, 245, 247] and 2.6 pm core-shell particles HPLC columns [246] have been proposed for the high-throughput separation and quantification of tamoxifen/metabolites. 

The term H is usually determined for the last eluting compound. For a well-packed high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) column of 5-/xm particles H should be about 2 to 3 times the particle diameter. Values of 0.01 to 0.03 mm are typical. 

High-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a variant of the simple column technique, based on the discovery that chromatographic separations are vastly improved if the stationary phase is made up of very small, uniformly sized spherical particles. Small particle size ensures a large surface area for better adsorption, and a uniform spherical shape allows a tight, uniform packing of particles. In practice, coated Si02 microspheres of 3.5 to 5 fxm diameter are often used.
