Abstract:
Two commercially available solid phase extraction packing materials containing octadecylsilane stationary phases, Isolute C18MF and Isolute C18, were characterized using Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectra of excellent quality can be obtained from such systems and provide direct information about the alkyl chain conformation in the stationary phase. Data from the ν(C-C) and ν(C-H) spectral regions suggest that the alkyl chains of these stationary phases exist in a highly disordered state which is very similar to that of the neat liquid.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
