HPLC Column, RP C4 Butyl, 5um, 4.6mm ID x 250mm Length, 100A. Cogent Brand. 1 EA.
Additional Information:
Cogent RP C4™ is a reversed-phase HPLC stationary phase designed for the separation of hydrophobic and neutral compounds where less retention is desired than with traditional C8 or C18 phases. Manufactured using a four-carbon butyl ligand bonded to ultra-high purity silica and fully double end capped, this stationary phase provides reproducible chromatographic performance and is widely used as an alternative in USP methods requiring L26 chemistry. Its reduced hydrophobicity compared to longer-chain bonded phases makes it particularly useful for rapid analyses, routine testing, and method development.
68504-25P is an HPLC column packed with 5 µm RP C4™ particles featuring a 100 Å pore size in a 4.6 mm ID x 250 mm format. The 250 mm length provides maximum chromatographic resolution and peak capacity within the RP C4™ product family, while the 5 µm particles allow operation at higher flow rates with lower backpressure than smaller particle columns. Typical operating flow rates are approximately 1.0–2.0 mL/min depending on mobile phase composition, temperature, and system configuration.
This column is commonly used for hydrophobic and neutral compounds in reversed-phase HPLC when reduced retention is desirable. Compared to C8 phases, RP C4™ typically provides lower retention, making it useful for compounds that may otherwise be excessively retained on more hydrophobic stationary phases. The 250 mm format is particularly valuable for difficult separations requiring maximum resolving power and is one of the most popular RP C4™ column configurations for USP L26 methods.
