What is C18 HPLC column?
C18 columns are HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) columns that use a C18 substance as the stationary phase. C18 HPLC columns are used in environmental sciences and chemical analysis, as well as industries such as pharmaceutical and environmental sciences, to analyze individual parts of chemical mixtures.
What is difference between Rp 18 and C18 column?
ANSWER. XTerra MS C18 contains a trifunctionally bonded C18 ligand, whereas the XTerra RP18 contains a monomerically bonded C18, which has an embedded polar group at the base of the ligand.
What is in a C18 column?
C18 is octyldecylsilane and contains 18 carbons bound to the silica. So they have more carbons and a longer carbon chain than C8 (8 carbons) or C4 (4 carbons). Because of the extra carbons, C18 has a larger surface area that the mobile phase has to travel across.
How do C18 columns work?
How Does HPLC Work?
- A small volume of your sample (in the liquid phase) is injected into your stationary phase.
- A pump moves the liquid down the column using high pressure.
- As the individual components exit the column, a detector measures them.

How does a HPLC column work?
A small volume of your sample (in the liquid phase) is injected into your stationary phase. Your stationary phase is your HPLC column, which is a tube filled with particles <5µm in diameter. 2. A pump moves the liquid down the column using high pressure.
What is the stationary phase in HPLC?
Your stationary phase is your HPLC column, which is a tube filled with particles <5µm in diameter. 2. A pump moves the liquid down the column using high pressure. As the sample moves through the column, there are interactions between the packing particles and molecules in your sample.
What is the difference between a C18 and a C8 HPLC column?
Syncronis C8 HPLC columns are less hydrophobic than the C18 and are therefore particularly useful where the lesser degree of hydrophobicity is needed in order to successfully retain compounds of interest. Syncronis C8 HPLC columns can also be used where it is desirable to elute compounds more quickly.
