Dr. Maisch Exsil 80 C8 Analytical HPLC Column, 3 µm, 80 Å, 4.6 x 50 mm, 1/Pk

Product Number: 5136481.S0546

Exsil 80

• 80 Å
• 0.51 cc/g
• 226 m2/g 150 m2/ml
• Type A Silica and Bonded Phases
• Alternative to Spherisorb
• Available in 1.5, 3, 5 and 10 μm particle sizes
• Exsil 80: Columns with a pore size of 80 Å Angstroms (8 nm)

The Exsil 80 range has a higher surface area and greater retention than the original Exsil 100 which in some instances provides a better alternative to Spherisorb.

New is the addition of a 1.5μm ODS phase to allow faster separations of current applications. When used with appropriate hardware, efficiencies of over 200,000 plates/m are achievable in 3 to 5 cm columns. The range of phases continues to provide a comprehensive selection for all standard applications.

Exsil 80 C8

C8 columns are characterized by their octyl (8-carbon) chains, which provide a less hydrophobic surface compared to C18 columns (which have octadecyl or 18-carbon chains). This difference in hydrophobicity affects the column's ability to retain and separate different compounds.

C8 Stationary Phase: The column packing material is chemically modified with octyl (C8) hydrocarbon chains.
Reversed-Phase Chromatography: Exsil C8 columns are used in reversed-phase chromatography, where the stationary phase is non-polar (hydrophobic) and the mobile phase is polar.
Intermediate Hydrophobicity: Compared to C18 columns, C8 columns offer less retention of hydrophobic compounds due to their shorter alkyl chains.
Application Areas: C8 columns are suitable for separating a wide range of compounds, particularly those with moderate polarity, and are often used as a good alternative to C18 columns for certain applications, including pesticides and pharmaceuticals.
