Techsphere C8 is a silica-based HPLC column with a C8 bonded phase, offering moderate hydrophobic retention and balanced selectivity. Compared to C18 phases, the shorter alkyl chain provides faster elution while still ensuring excellent resolution and reproducibility, making it highly versatile for a broad range of analytes.
Originally developed by Grace / Alltech and acquired by Dr. Maisch HPLC GmbH in 2016, the Techsphere series is known for its robust performance, batch-to-batch reproducibility, and reliable results in both routine analysis and method development.
Techsphere C8 delivers balanced hydrophobic retention and reliable reproducibility – a trusted solution for versatile reversed-phase HPLC separations.
