Table 1. Quantification of separation performance using theoretical plate number, height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP), theoretical plate number per column length, and resolution in Figure 3. Each standard deviation was obtained by 3 consecutive runs.

Figure 3a	DNA size/bp	5 k	10 k		48.5 k		166 k
	Theoretical plate number	5300 ± 820	1400 ± 110		730 ± 80		2300 ± 700
	HETP (×10−4)/mm	1.9 ± 0.3	7.1 ± 0.6		14 ± 1.6		4.6 ± 1.4
	Theoretical plate number per column length (×106)/plates m−1	5.3 ± 0.8	1.4 ± 0.1		0.7 ± 0.08		2.3 ± 0.7
	Resolution	Rs5k–10k		Rs10k–48.5k		Rs48.5k–166k
		0.66 ± 0.03		0.35 ± 0.01		0.91 ± 0.12
