Abstract Fifteen liquid chromatographic experiments were investigated using a whole‐column detection (WCD) system and a conventional post‐column UV/Vis detector. The peak widths obtained from chromatograms were found dependent on the retention factor; the larger the retention factor was the greater the peak width. However, the on‐column spatial peak widths were dependent on the locations where they were measured in the column. The peak widths monitored at 17 cm from the column inlet were found essentially the same no matter what their retention factors were. In addition, a linear relationship was found between the chromatographic peak width and the reciprocal of the average linear rate of the solute migration. The peak widths on chromatograms did not reflect how they appeared in the column; instead, the widths were determined by the solute speed passing the detector.
