Catalog Number - 62518-05P

Hyper Similars C18™ is a traditional reversed-phase HPLC stationary phase manufactured on high-purity Type-B spherical silica with a fully endcapped octadecyl (C18) bonded phase. Designed as a cost-effective alternative to legacy Hypersil® and Spherisorb® columns, it offers comparable chromatographic behavior for USP L1 methods while providing the strong hydrophobic retention, reproducibility, and broad applicability expected from a conventional C18 stationary phase.

62518-05P is a 50 mm x 4.6 mm ID analytical column packed with 5 µm, 150Å Hyper Similars C18 particles. The short 50 mm length is optimized for fast analyses, rapid equilibration, and high-throughput workflows. The 5 µm particle size provides reliable performance with moderate operating pressure and compatibility with conventional HPLC systems. Typical operating flow rates are approximately 1.0–2.0 mL/min, making this configuration well suited for routine analytical methods requiring fast turnaround times.

This USP L1 column is ideal for hydrophobic and neutral compounds requiring strong reversed-phase retention. Common applications include pharmaceutical analysis, long-chain fatty acid separations, quality control testing, method development, and fast analytical methods where speed and reproducibility are priorities.
