Description

Application
Sample preparation for Gas ChromatographyMass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Derivatization of polar compounds like sugars amino acids and organic acids. Used in pharmaceutical environmental and forensic analysis.

Purpose
To convert non-volatile or polar compounds into volatile stable derivatives making them easier to detect and analyze by GC-MS.

General Description
A volatile colorless organic reagent widely used in analytical chemistry. Its a strong silylating agent that reacts with compounds containing active hydrogen (-OH -NH -SH groups).
