Octadecylsilane chemically bonded silica is widely used in chromatography as a stationary phase for reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Its hydrophobic surface allows for the separation of non-polar and moderately polar compounds, making it ideal for analyzing pharmaceuticals, environmental samples, and biological fluids. The material is also employed in solid-phase extraction (SPE) to isolate and concentrate target analytes from complex matrices. Its stability under various pH conditions and high temperatures enhances its utility in analytical applications. Additionally, it is used in the purification of peptides, proteins, and other biomolecules due to its selective interaction with hydrophobic substances. The robust nature of this material ensures consistent performance in demanding laboratory environments.
