In the realm of analytical chemistry, Gas Chromatography (GC) is an indispensable tool for separating, identifying, and quantifying volatile compounds. However, many compounds of interest, particularly those with polar functional groups like hydroxyls or amines, are not inherently volatile enough for effective GC analysis. This is where derivatization, a process that chemically modifies analytes to make them more suitable for GC, becomes crucial. Bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA), with its CAS number 25561-30-2, is a premier derivatization agent for this purpose, and as a leading manufacturer and supplier in China, we are dedicated to providing you with this high-performance chemical.

BSTFA, a clear liquid with the molecular formula C8H18F3NOSi2, excels as a silylating agent. Its trifluoroacetyl group, combined with trimethylsilyl moieties, allows it to efficiently react with active hydrogen atoms in molecules. This reaction replaces the polar hydrogen with a less polar trimethylsilyl group, significantly reducing the analyte's polarity and increasing its vapor pressure and thermal stability. The result is sharper peaks, improved resolution, and enhanced detection limits when analyzed by GC.

The application of BSTFA is widespread across various analytical disciplines. In environmental science, it's used to analyze pollutants and contaminants. In food and beverage testing, it helps quantify trace components and ensure product safety. Furthermore, it plays a role in forensic science and clinical chemistry for the analysis of biological samples. For researchers and technicians in these fields, the ability to reliably buy high-quality BSTFA is essential for achieving accurate and reproducible analytical results.
