Experimental partition coefficients K (here: between lower and upper phase, K_L/U) from shake flask experiments and calculated corrected elution volumes (CEV) for flow rate combinations A (mobile phase 2 mL/min and stationary phase 4 mL/min) and B (mobile phase 4 mL/min and stationary phase 2 mL/min) in co-current CCC (ccCCC) and C with conventional CCC (CCC) with a mobile phase flow rate of 2 mL/min. CEV for ccCCC (Eq. 4) and CCC ($\text{CEV}=\text{K}·{\text{S}}_{\text{f}}$) [26] were calculated with a coil volume of 236 mL and an S_f value of 88% in tail-to-head mode
