Allsphere C8

Reliable Reversed-Phase Column with Moderate Hydrophobicity

Allsphere C8 is a fully porous silica-based HPLC column bonded with octyl (C8) groups. Offering medium hydrophobic retention, it provides a balanced alternative to C18 for analytes that elute too slowly or too strongly retained. With excellent peak shape and chemical stability, Allsphere C8 is ideal for routine reversed-phase separations in pharmaceutical, food, and environmental applications.

Allsphere C8 provides reproducible reversed-phase performance with shorter retention times – a reliable solution for daily HPLC workflows.

Key Features

  • Octyl (C8) bonded phase with moderate retention strength

  • Fully porous high-purity silica matrix

  • Faster elution compared to C18 with good selectivity

  • Compatible with standard reversed-phase solvents and gradients

  • Available in common particle sizes (e.g. 3 µm, 5 µm, 10 µm)

Typical Applications

  • Active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulation components

  • Polar to moderately non-polar compounds

  • Environmental contaminants and food additives

  • Method development where reduced retention vs. C18 is beneficial
