Product Description
Trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA) is a versatile reagent widely used in laboratories for its strong acidic properties and volatility. The 25% solution in water offers a balanced concentration for applications requiring controlled acidity without excessive corrosiveness. This lab-grade TFA solution is ideal for peptide synthesis, where it acts as a deprotecting agent, and in HPLC for protein and peptide analysis. Researchers also rely on it for organic synthesis, particularly in reactions requiring a non-oxidizing acid.
When working with TFA, proper handling is essential due to its corrosive nature. Always use it in a well-ventilated area with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and goggles. The solution should be stored in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances like bases and oxidizing agents.
For bulk purchases or consistent lab supply needs, eqipped ensures timely delivery of high-quality TFA solutions across India. Whether you’re a student setting up an experiment or a researcher scaling up synthesis, this product provides the reliability and purity required for accurate results.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of Trifluoroacetic Acid 25% Solution?
The solution remains stable for up to 2 years when stored properly in its original, tightly sealed container at room temperature. Avoid exposure to moisture or air to prevent degradation.
Can this TFA solution be used for HPLC mobile phase preparation?
Yes, the 25% solution is commonly diluted to 0.1% for HPLC applications. It helps improve peak resolution in peptide and protein analysis while being compatible with most HPLC systems.
Is this product suitable for peptide cleavage in Fmoc chemistry?
Absolutely. TFA is the standard reagent for cleaving peptides from resin in Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis. The 25% concentration is ideal for controlled cleavage without excessive side reactions.
What precautions should I take when diluting this solution?
Always add TFA to water slowly while stirring, never the reverse. This exothermic process can release heat and vapors. Perform dilutions in a fume hood with proper PPE.
Does eqipped offer bulk discounts for TFA purchases?
Yes, eqipped provides competitive pricing for bulk orders of Trifluoroacetic Acid. Contact our sales team for customized quotes based on your volume requirements.
