Octadecylsilane chemically bonded silica is widely used in chromatography as a stationary phase. It is particularly effective in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), where it helps separate non-polar and moderately polar compounds due to its hydrophobic surface. This material is also employed in solid-phase extraction (SPE) to isolate and concentrate analytes from complex mixtures, making it valuable in environmental, pharmaceutical, and food analysis. Additionally, it is utilized in the purification of biomolecules, such as proteins and peptides, owing to its ability to interact with hydrophobic regions of these molecules. Its stability and reproducibility make it a preferred choice in analytical laboratories for consistent and reliable results.
