Description

Application
It is widely used in gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GCMS) for the analysis of drugs metabolites fatty acids and other biomolecules by improving their detectability and separation.

Purpose
Its purpose is to convert polar functional groups such as hydroxyl (OH) carboxyl (COOH) and amino (NH) groups into their trimethylsilyl derivatives thereby increasing their volatility and thermal stability.

General Description
N-Methyl-N-trimethylsilylacetamide is a volatile organosilicon compound used as a strong silylating (derivatizing) agent in analytical chemistry.
