  1. t R : Retention time in min.
  2. RRT: Relative retention time, of each impurity relative to FEX peak.
  3. K: Capacity factor. α: Selectivity, between each two successive peaks.
  4. R s :Resolution, between each two successive peaks. T f :Tailing factor.
  5. RRF: relative response factor of each impurity relative to FEX peak.
  6. RSD: relative standard deviation for area of five injections (instrument precision)
