Econosil C8

Medium-Hydrophobicity Reversed-Phase Column for Faster Routine Analysis

Econosil C8 is a reversed-phase HPLC column based on fully porous, high-purity silica and modified with octyl (C8) groups. Offering moderate hydrophobic retention, it is ideal for compounds that elute too slowly on C18 columns or when shorter analysis times are desired. Econosil C8 delivers reliable performance for routine quality control, method development, and general-purpose reversed-phase separations at an economical price point.

Econosil C8 provides balanced reversed-phase performance and faster run times – ideal for everyday HPLC tasks requiring moderate retention and high reliability.

Econosil C8 is a good alternative to Polygosil® C8.

Key Features

  • Octyl (C8) bonded phase – USP L7 classification
