CORTECS Solid Core C8 Column, 90Å, 1.6 µm, 2.1 mm X 150 mm, 1/pk

For general technique development in low pH test circumstances, the CORTECS C8 Columns are employed. When combined with low-dispersive UPLC equipment, CORTECS 1.6 µm solid-core particle technology offers the highest column efficiency. In contrast to fully porous particles of comparable size, CORTECS 1.6 µm particles create sharper, narrower peaks, making CORTECS C8 Columns one of the best columns to choose for improved resolution, speed, and sensitivity.

Solid-core particles with a tri-functionally bound C8 Ligand are part of CORTECS UPLC C8 Columns. Compared to the C18 Ligand in the CORTECS UPLC Column Series, the C8 column is less hydrophobic since it contains a shorter alkyl chain. For the analysis of hydrophobic and very hydrophobic analytes, including fat-soluble vitamins, the CORTECS C8 Column's lower hydrophobicity results in shortened retention durations for numerous substances.

Vitamins like Vitamin E are classified as Fat Soluble Vitamins (FSVs), which are extremely hydrophobic substances. Reverse-phase liquid chromatography with C18 columns would require more time for analysis, increasing the cost of each experiment and analysis. However, C8 will be a far better choice because of its lower hydrophobicity, which cuts down on both analysis time and solvent expenses.
