The Waters Symmetry C8 HPLC Column is also available in these types:
Waters Symmetry C8 HPLC Column with eConnect Column Tag
- This column comes equipped with an electronic eConnect column tag containing unique column-specific information. These NFC-enabled device-tagged columns were developed to automatically identify, track and digitally trace column use history. eConnect columns can be used on any HPLC, but its advantages are unlocked when used with the Waters Alliance iS System running Empower software.

Waters Symmetry Shield RP8 HPLC Column
- These reversed-phase columns contain Waters patented embedded polar group technology that “shields” the silica’ residual silanol surface from highly basic analytes. The reduced silanol activity for the SymmetryShield RP8 column significantly improves peak shape and resolution.
- Bonding Technology: Shield RP8
- Carbon Load: 15 %

Silica-based columns that exceed HPLC column performance expectations
Reproducible HPLC columns are essential when developing analytical methods for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products. Achieving the same chromatographic results over the lifetime of a new drug product is critical, and no other silica-based LC column brand can match the column-to-column and batch-to-batch reproducibility of the Symmetry family.
Available in column and guard formats, Symmetry Columns are manufactured using high purity silica and tightly controlled manufacturing processes to ensure that you receive a column that exceeds the standards for HPLC column performance.
Overview
- Deliver maximum reproducibility batch-to-batch and column-to-column
- Provide superior peak shape
- Achieve high recoveries of peptides and proteins
- Manufactured using high purity silica and tightly controlled manufacturing processes
- Recommended Use: For rugged and reproducible HPLC column performance.
