Econosil is a budget-friendly HPLC column series based on fully porous, high-purity silica, designed for standard reversed-phase separations in routine laboratory applications. Featuring classic bonded phases such as C18 and C8, Econosil columns deliver reliable retention, acceptable peak shape, and consistent performance at an economical price point. They are ideal for quality control, educational labs, and general-purpose HPLC where robustness and reproducibility are needed without premium cost.
Econosil columns provide reliable reversed-phase performance for everyday HPLC tasks – ideal when cost-efficiency and consistency are key.
The product line was aquired by Dr. Maisch HPLC GmbH in 2016 from Grace / Alltech.
Good alternative to Polygosil® - MACHEREY-NAGEL.
