Description

Other Notes

Compared to trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) difluoroacetic acid (DFA) exhibits an improved sensitivity in mass spectral detection (ESI) as it has a reduced effect on ion suppression in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC-MS) while keeping its strong chromatographic performance enhancing effects.

Application
Difluoroacetic acid can be used as an Acidifier in liquid chromatography (LC) experiments.
