General description

Perfluorobutyric acid is an effective additive for zinc electrodeposition.

Application

Perfluorobutyric acid was used as mobile phase modifier for enhancement of selectivity in the HPLC analysis of histone proteins. It was used as ion pairing reagent in preparative and analytical reserved phase HPLC of underivatised peptides.

Perfluorobutyrate (PFBA) is a perfluoroalkyl acid (PFAA) found in the environment. Previous studies have indicated developmental toxicity of PFAAs (perfluorooctane sulfonate [PFOS] and perfluorooctanoate [PFOA]); the current study examines that of PFBA. PFBA/NH4(+) was given to timed-pregnant CD-1 mice by
