4.2.2.6: Detector Cell Size
Detectors on CE systems average a signal over a finite volume. Naturally, if the volume averaged is too large, it can combine signals from different analytes. In this way, zone broadening due to the size of the detector cell is similar to zone broadening due to a long injection plug. Generally, any variance due to detector cell size can be ignored if the length of the detection cell is roughly one third the sample zone length.
