It is considered that surface roughness affects column performance. Surface asperity of ChromaNik
Technologies column with 2.1 mm i.d. and 3.0 mm i.d. is 1/30 to 1/20 to compare with that of GL Sciences,
YMC, Shimadzu and Waters columns. ChromaNIk Technologies provides a column with a very smooth surface
which is the most suitable for 2.6
