FAQs
What is BSTFA used for in GCMS?
BSTFA is a derivatization reagent that converts polar compounds into volatile, thermally stable trimethylsilyl derivatives for GCMS analysis.
Is BSTFA extrapure suitable for quantitative analysis?
Yes, its 99% purity ensures minimal interference, making it ideal for quantitative GCMS applications.
How should BSTFA be stored?
Store BSTFA in a tightly sealed container under nitrogen or argon at 2–8°C to prevent hydrolysis.
Can BSTFA be used for LCMS?
No, BSTFA is specifically designed for GCMS derivatization. For LCMS, consider alternative reagents like TMS-diazomethane.
