Kromasil 100-5-C8 4.6 x 150 mm

The Kromasil 100 C8 HPLC column 150x4.6mm, 5µm, is based on an octyl phase (also known as RP-8, C8) on 100 Å silica. Compared with C18 phases, the C8 phase offers lower hydrophobic retention and can therefore enable shorter run times or altered selectivity. Kromasil 100 C8 is used in reversed-phase chromatography for small molecules, peptides and moderately polar to hydrophobic compounds. Typical applications include pharmaceutical analysis, API and impurity analysis, food analysis, environmental analysis, method acceleration and routine RP-HPLC.

Performance Characteristics and Benefits

• Spherical, fully porous silica with high mechanical stability
• High surface area and high pore volume for efficient separations and good loading capacity
• Narrow particle size distribution for high efficiency and reproducible results
• Broad phase spectrum for reverse-phase, normal-phase, HILIC, and SFC
• Suitable for analytical method development, routine analysis, scale-up, and preparative applications

Additional Information

The Kromasil series is based on highly stable, spherical, and fully porous silica particles. The silica matrix combines a high surface area, high pore volume, and a controlled pore structure with a narrow particle size distribution. This supports efficient packing beds, low pressure drops relative to performance, and good column and batch reproducibility. The Kromasil platform offers different pore sizes: 60 Å for small organic molecules, 100 Å for small molecules and peptides, and 300 Å for proteins and larger biomolecules. Appropriate Kromasil pre-column cartridges can be used to protect the analytical packing bed from particles, sample matrix, and hard-to-elute components.
