Symmetry C8 Column, 100Å, 3.5 µm, 4.6 mm X 150 mm, 1/pk
Use the Symmetry C8 Column to remove the need for revalidating methods with each new batch of columns as the lab equipment offers outstanding reproducibility. The Symmetry C8 Column contains monofunctional bonded C8 ligands on a high purity base-deactivated silica, which is one of the tightest column specifications in the industry.
In addition to providing excellent reproducibility year after year, the Symmetry C8 Column also offers long life to established analytical methods. This, in combination with the fact the Symmetry C8 Column lasts over 10,000 injections, with next to no loss in efficiency, minimal increase in backpressure, and minimal change in retention time, makes it the perfect lab equipment for all your chromatographic needs.
The Symmetry C6 Column utilizes the two key factors that control column lifetime. These are the hydraulic stability of the packing material and the mechanical stability of the packed bed. Using the combined advantage of these key features of the Symmetry C8 Column, you will be able to deliver consistent performance.
The high bonding density and minimal residual silanol activity of the packing materials of the Symmetry C8 Column will make it possible to set superior peak shape across the pH range of 2-8. This will enable you to work at neutral pH or low pH and optimize your method without compromising peak shape.

You may also be interested in the Symmetry C8 VanGuard Cartridge, 100Å, 3.5 µm, 3.9 mm X 5 mm, 3/pk which has been designed to exclusively work with the Symmetry C8 Column. The VanGuard Cartridge works by protecting the analytical column from harm. It is attached to the column and removes all chemical and particulate matter from the mobile phase, extending the column’s lifetime and ensuring consistent performance and results.
What Pressure Can The Symmetry C8 Column Sustain?
Though the Symmetry C8 Column can tolerate pressures of up to 6,000 psi (400 bar or 40 Mpa), it is recommended that pressures greater than 4,000-5,000 psi be avoided in order to maximize column and system lifetimes.
