  Phases | Inertsil C8



     Key Benefits and Features of Inertsil C8 -- Part of the Original Inertsil 2-Series of Phases
   Virtually free of trace metal contaminants which can cause peak tailing
   Outstanding peak shape for acids and bases
   Exceptional physical and chemical durability provides long column life
   Vast database of chromatographic applications available to assist in method development
   One of most popular and trusted HPLC columns in industry for more than 25 years


         
  The original 2-Series Inertsil phases, including C8, ODS-2, C4 and SIL-150Å, created the high purity silica revolution in the late 1980s.  These phases utilize a 99.999% pure silica get which is extremely durable and free from dents and cracks which can cause premature column failure. 

GL Sciences has compiled a vast collection of chromatographic applications data on C8 and their other phases which can assist you in method development.  These can be accessed in the InertSearch program.
  By choosing Inertsil C8, you can be assured  that you are using one of the most trusted, popular, and enduring HPLC columns in the history of HPLC.

The original Inertsil 2-Series of  columns remain some of the most useful and popular on the market today. However, GL Sciences' Inertsil 3- and 4-Series phases are a major advancement on the original 2-Series, and generally provide superior chromatography and alternative selectivity to the 2-Series.  We recommend starting out with Inertsil C8-4 for new methods where a C8 (octyl) phase seems most appropriate.
