Restek's C8 is a conventional monomeric octylsilane column offering a shorter alkyl chain to provide less hydrophobic retention and improved basic peak shape over a traditional C18 phase.

• Rugged, spherical particles with 300 Å pore size
• Particlei size and pore size: 5 µm, spherica and 300 Å
• Carbon load: 5%
• End-cap: yes
• pH range and temperature limit: 2.5 to 8 and 80 °C
• USP phase code: L7
• Phase category and Ligand type: C8, octylsilane and monomeric C8

Like Restek's C18, this general-purpose Restek C8 is suitable for a wide range of compounds from acidic through slightly basic.

Restek's C8 has high proportion of pore/surface area available to large molecules and excellent for separating peptides or proteins.
