General description

Our biotech solvents offer exceptional quality for reliable RNA extraction, ensuring optimal laboratory performance. With low water content and minimal residue, give clean UV spectra to minimize contamination.
  • High-Quality Biotech Solvents: Designed for optimal laboratory performance with low water content and minimal residues.
  • Ideal for RNA Extraction: Essential for genetic testing and research applications like PCR.
  • Ensures Integrity of Genetic Material: Promotes reliable and reproducible results.
  • Industry Compliant: Suitable for both academic and commercial laboratories, enhancing research efficiency.

Trifluoroacetic acid is a naturally occurring organic solvent and biodegradable by microbial action. It can also be used as a catalyst for various organic transformations, including solvolysis, rearrangements, reductions, oxidations, and trifluoromethylation.

Application

Trifluoroacetic acid can be used as a solvent in the:
  • Mass spectrometry for protein identification.
  • Microwave-irradiated bromination of isoxazoles and pyrazoles with N-bromosuccinimide to synthesize mono-brominated isoxazoles and pyrazoles.
  • Lewis acid-catalyzed 6-endo-digcyclization of 2-(2-arylethynyl)heteroaryl esters to heterocyclic lactones.
  • Electrospinning of cellulose acetate to prepare the corresponding nanofibrous membranes.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
