FAQs
What is trifluoroacetic acid used for in HPLC?
It acts as an ion-pairing agent in reverse-phase HPLC, improving peak resolution for basic compounds.
Is this TFA suitable for mass spectrometry?
Yes, its high volatility makes it ideal for LC-MS applications without residual interference.
What precautions should I take when handling TFA?
Wear acid-resistant gloves, goggles, and work in a fume hood due to its corrosive nature.
Can I use this for peptide synthesis?
Absolutely. It’s commonly used for deprotection and cleavage in solid-phase peptide synthesis.
How should I store trifluoroacetic acid?
Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and oxidizing agents.
