Description

Application
Gas chromatography (GC)- Derivatization of polar compounds to make them more volatile. Analytical chemistry- Improves detection of alcohols acids amines and sugars. Pharmaceutical analysis- Sample preparation for drug testing. Environmental testing- Helps analyze trace organic compounds.

Purpose
Its main purpose is to convert polar non-volatile compounds into volatile derivatives enabling accurate analysis especially in gas chromatography.

General Description
N O-Bis(Trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) is an organic silylating reagent widely used in analytical chemistry. Colorless to pale yellow liquid. Moisture-sensitive and volatile. Reacts readily with compounds containing active hydrogen (OH NH COOH). Produces trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives.
