Description
C8 SPE Cartridge: Versatile Solution for Moderate Hydrophobic Interactions
The C8 solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge is designed with a reverse-phase silica matrix that effectively retains moderately non-polar compounds through hydrophobic interactions. Compared to C18 SPE cartridges, the C8 variant features a shorter carbon chain, resulting in weaker hydrophobic forces. This makes it a suitable alternative when C18 cartridges exhibit excessive retention, allowing for easier elution of target compounds.
Key Features
- Moderate hydrophobicity – Ideal for compounds that require balanced retention and elution.
- Efficient extraction – Prevents excessive binding of substances that are strongly retained on C18 sorbents.
- Versatile application – Suitable for bioanalytical, food safety, and environmental testing.
Applications
- Biological Sample Preparation – Efficient extraction of fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins from plasma.
- Food Safety Analysis – Detection of hormone residues in meat products.
- Environmental Testing – Identification of pesticide residues in waste and water samples.
- Biochemical Research – Desalting of biomacromolecules to improve analytical performance.
The C8 SPE cartridge provides a balanced alternative for compounds that require moderate hydrophobic retention, ensuring optimal performance in analytical sample preparation.
