Symmetry Shield RP8 Column, 100Å, 5 µm, 3.9 mm X 150 mm, 1/pk
Employ the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column for use with highly aqueous mobile phases, especially in applications that require low organic mobile phase conditions. The lab equipment has been designed to prevent pore dewetting as the embedded polar group maintains the wetted pore surface. This results in the retention of your analyte and eliminates the need for a lengthy re-wetting and column re-equilibration process. The mechanics of the reversed-phase Symmetry Shield RP8 Column is the Waters patented embedded polar group technology that “shields” the silica’ residual silanol surface from highly basic analytes. This reduced silanol activity in the column significantly improves peak shape and resolution.
As the lab equipment offers the narrowest ligand surface coverage (ligand density) in the industry, you can get outstanding reproducibility. This is made possible by utilizing the unique feature of narrow specification ranges. This means that you get minimal shifts in resolutions and, thus, more reproducible results from batch-to-batch and column-to-column.
The Symmetry Shield RP8 Column is also guaranteed to last you a long time and reduce your lab equipment cost as it offers optimized performance. Additionally, it combines two main factors that impact the column’s lifetime, the hydrolytic stability of the packing material and the mechanical stability of the packed bed.

You may also be interested in the Symmetry Shield RP8 VanGuard Cartridge, 100Å, 5 µm, 3.9 mm X 5 mm, 3/pk, which is intended to be used in conjunction with the analytical column to extend its lifetime by protecting it from harm. The VanGuard Cartridge performs this function by removing all chemical and particulate matter from the mobile phase.
What Temperature Range is Recommended For Use With The Symmetry Shield RP8 Column?
An operating temperature range of 20 - 45 °C is recommended for use with the Symmetry Shield RP8 Column to enhance selectivity, lower solvent viscosity, and increase mass transfer rates.
