Product Description
N,O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide, commonly known as BSTFA, is a high-purity derivatization reagent widely used in analytical chemistry. With a purity of 95%, this compound is essential for silylation reactions, enhancing the volatility and stability of polar compounds in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Researchers and lab professionals rely on BSTFA for accurate and reproducible results in metabolite analysis, drug testing, and environmental studies.
This 25ml pack is designed for convenience and precision, ensuring minimal waste while providing sufficient volume for multiple experiments. Whether you’re working in academia, pharmaceuticals, or forensic labs, eqipped delivers lab-grade BSTFA with consistent quality and fast shipping across India.

The reagent’s trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups replace active hydrogen atoms in compounds like alcohols, amines, and carboxylic acids, making them more suitable for chromatographic analysis. Its low reactivity with water and high efficiency in derivatization make it a preferred choice over alternatives like TMSCl or HMDS.
For best results, store BSTFA in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Always handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) due to its corrosive nature.
