Catalog Number - 62508-10P-2

Hyper 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 legacy Hypersil® and Spherisorb® 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 typically provide reduced retention and faster elution of hydrophobic compounds.

62508-10P-2 is a 100 mm x 2.1 mm ID narrow-bore analytical column packed with 5 µm, 150Å Hyper Similars C8 particles. The 100 mm length provides a balance of run time and resolution, while the 2.1 mm ID format reduces solvent consumption and is well suited for LC-MS applications. Typical flow rates are approximately 0.2–0.3 mL/min and require a system capable of precise low-flow delivery with low-volume flow cells and plumbing. The 5 µm particle size offers reliable performance with moderate operating pressure.

This USP L7 column is ideal for hydrophobic and neutral compounds when less retention is desired than a comparable C18 phase. Its narrow-bore format and reduced flow requirements make it a popular choice for LC-MS methods, pharmaceutical analysis, long-chain fatty acid separations, and routine analytical testing.
