Superior Retention for Hydrophobic Compounds
Chromolith® RP-8 endcapped columns provide better retention for hydrophobic compounds than RP-18 endcapped columns. Due to their shorter alkyl chains, they offer less retention and slightly different selectivity. This makes it possible to achieve baseline separations
on RP-8 endcapped bonded columns. In comparison, no separation at all is observed on RP-18 endcapped bonded silica columns under identical elution conditions.
Otherwise, Chromolith® RP-8 endcapped columns offer the same outstanding benefits as Chromolith® RP-18 endcapped: high throughput, extremely long column lifetime, lower matrix sensitivity and added column performance through column coupling. Based on high-purity silica, the columns minimize the negative effects of trace metals. Furthermore, they are chemically modified with n-alkyl chains, which possess a high ligand density, and fully endcapped in order to reduce the effects of unmodified silanol groups.
Features and Benefits
- Better retention for hydrophobic compounds
- High throughput at high flow rates with the best overall column quality
- Possibility of flow gradients
- Added column performance by column coupling
- Rigid monolithic structure for a longer column lifetime
- Lower matrix sensitivity
