Product Overview

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) 100% HiPerSolv CHROMANORM® is a high-purity reagent specifically formulated for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) applications. This grade ensures minimal background interference, enhancing signal-to-noise ratios for improved sensitivity in trace-level analyses. The HiPerSolv CHROMANORM® certification guarantees consistent batch-to-batch performance, critical for reproducible results in complex sample matrices. Its low UV absorbance and volatility make it ideal for ion-pairing agents in reversed-phase chromatography, while its compatibility with electrospray ionization (ESI) ensures robust peptide and protein characterization. The 10 × 1 ml packaging provides convenience for small-scale experiments while maintaining stability through sealed ampoules. As a strong organic acid, TFA’s trifluoromethyl group contributes to its unique solubility properties, enabling efficient elution of polar compounds without compromising column integrity. The reagent undergoes rigorous quality control to meet ISO and pharmacopeial standards, ensuring reliability for demanding analytical workflows.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of HiPerSolv CHROMANORM® TFA when unopened?

The unopened ampoules retain stability for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature in original packaging.

2. Can this TFA grade be used with stainless steel HPLC systems?

Yes, but prolonged exposure may cause corrosion. Rinse the system with water or methanol after use to prevent damage.

3. How does this compare to analytical-grade TFA for LC-MS?

HiPerSolv CHROMANORM® undergoes additional purification steps to reduce metal impurities and UV-absorbing contaminants, resulting in lower baseline noise.
