This document describes the features and characteristics of a product, including its performance, functionalities, and applications.
This document is a datasheet for the Agilent Zorbax C8 column, a packing used for reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The column features a monolayer coating of n-octyldimethylsilane groups bonded to Zorbax SIL silica particles, providing uniform surface coverage and high reproducibility. It is designed for use with common organic solvents like methanol and acetonitrile.
| Particle Type | Uniform, spherical |
|---|---|
| Pore Size | 60A |
| Bonded Phase | n-octyldimethylsilane |
| End-Capping | trimethylchlorosilane |
| Maximum Operating Pressure | 400 bar (6000 psi) |
| Maximum Operating Temperature | 60°C |
| Compatible pH Range | pH 2.0 to 8.0 |
Long term storage should be in a pure organic solvent, preferably an aprotic liquid such as 100% acetonitrile.
Check for obstructions up to the column inlet, then attempt to remove inlet debris by back-flushing 25-30 mL of mobile phase.
Yes, the use of a guard column is recommended to protect the Zorbax C8 column and extend its useful lifetime.
