				Hello, I've heard that the FDA requires the Resolution Factor be greater or equal to 2; are there any articles indicate this FDA specification?  Additionally, is there any specification on the Tailing factor and Plate Count?  Please help.  Thank you very much.

				Dear Theman,
For your method you need baseline separation, and this will be achieved if your method resolution is 1.5. 
I do not know any requirement of USFDA for resolution of 2. 
If ur method is able to give basline separation there is no problem.
Regards

				It's not a 
requirement, but rather a 
suggestion:

I believe the ICH is similar.

				We've used 2.0 as our target here, figuring that it may get worse over time (to 1.5 baseline resolution) as the column "ages".
