Platinum C8

Medium Hydrophobicity HPLC Column for Versatile Small Molecule Analysis

Platinum C8 is a silica-based HPLC column with an octyl bonded phase, designed to provide balanced hydrophobic retention and faster elution compared to traditional C18 phases. Built on high-purity silica, the C8 chemistry offers sharp peak shapes, reproducibility, and robustness, making it ideal for moderately hydrophobic analytes.

With its optimized retention characteristics, Platinum C8 is well-suited for pharmaceutical, biochemical, and environmental applications requiring shorter run times and complementary selectivity to C18 columns.

Platinum C8 provides balanced hydrophobic retention and robust performance – the reliable choice for laboratories seeking versatile reversed-phase HPLC separations.

Key Features:

  • Silica-based stationary phase with octyl (C8) bonded chemistry

  • Medium hydrophobic retention with faster elution than C18 phases

  • High reproducibility and sharp peak shapes

  • Robust bonding ensures long column lifetime

  • Available particle sizes: 3 µm, 5 µm, 10 µm

Typical Applications:

  • Pharmaceutical impurity profiling and routine quality control

  • Biochemical analysis of moderately hydrophobic drugs and metabolites

  • Food and beverage testing for additives and contaminants

  • Environmental monitoring of hydrophobic organic compounds

  • Method development requiring complementary selectivity to C18
