Product Description
MSTFA+TMCS (99:1) is a high-performance silylation reagent widely used in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for derivatizing polar compounds. This mixture combines N-Methyl-N-(Trimethylsilyl)Trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA) with Trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) in a 99:1 ratio, ensuring efficient and reproducible derivatization of hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amino groups.
Whether you’re a researcher, student, or educator, this reagent simplifies sample preparation by enhancing volatility and thermal stability of analytes. The 10 × 1 ml pack size is perfect for laboratories with moderate to high sample throughput, reducing the need for frequent reordering.
At eqipped, we ensure that every batch of MSTFA+TMCS (99:1) meets stringent quality standards, so you can trust the consistency of your results. This product is particularly useful in metabolomics, environmental analysis, and forensic toxicology.
