Overview

Product overview

CommaSil® C8 is made from high-purity silica microspheres, using a distinctive surface bonding and complete capping process to minimize silanol activity.

Compared with a C18 column, its retention capacity, classical reversed-phase retention and selectivity are slightly weaker, which makes it more suitable for the separation of compounds with moderate or high hydrophobicity.

The page's application example is the determination of mycophenolate mofetil related substances (UV 250 nm). Particle sizes of 3, 3.5 and 5 μm are available in 2.1, 3.0 and 4.6 mm internal diameters.
