HPLC Column, Nova Similars C8 Octyl, 4um, 4.0mm ID x 250mm Length. Cogent Brand. 1 EA. Special Order Item.
Additional Information:
Nova Similars C8™ Octyl is a traditional reversed-phase HPLC stationary phase manufactured on high-purity Type-B spherical silica with a fully endcapped octyl (C8) bonded phase. Designed as a cost-effective alternative to Waters™ Nova-Pak® C8 columns, it offers comparable chromatographic behavior for USP L7 methods while providing the moderate hydrophobic retention and reproducibility expected from a conventional C8 stationary phase. Compared to C18 columns, C8 phases generally provide reduced retention and faster elution of hydrophobic analytes.
64408-25P-4 is a 250 mm x 4.0 mm ID analytical column packed with 4 µm Nova Similars C8 particles. The extended 250 mm length provides increased theoretical plate counts and enhanced resolving power for impurity profiling, complex sample matrices, and challenging separations where maximum resolution is required. The 4 µm particle size provides improved efficiency and somewhat sharper peaks than comparable 5 µm packings while maintaining moderate operating pressure on conventional HPLC systems. The 4.0 mm ID format is commonly selected for legacy methods and typically operates at approximately 0.8–1.5 mL/min.
This USP L7 column is ideal for hydrophobic and neutral compounds when less retention is desired than a comparable C18 phase. Common applications include pharmaceutical analysis, long-chain fatty acid separations, impurity testing, and method development. This product is supplied as a Special Order Item manufactured specifically upon receipt of order.
