General description

Trichloro(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl)silane (PFOCTS) is a high-performance fluorinated silane optimized for the deposition of ultra-low surface energy Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs). This 97% assay grade ensures maximum fluorinated chain density, providing exceptionally durable superhydrophobic and oleophobic properties. This reagent is the gold standard for creating "non-stick" surfaces in high-precision microfluidics and sensitive electronic interfaces, where it serves as a critical moisture barrier and anti-stiction layer.

Application

As a versatile molecular bridge, PFOCTS is essential for engineering intelligent interfaces and stimuli-responsive systems that enable precise interactions at the intersection of nanotechnology, biology, and electronics.

• Precision Microfluidics: Essential release agent for soft lithography (PDMS molding), ensuring high-fidelity channel replication and preventing polymer adhesion.

• Bio-Antifouling: Creates inert interfaces that minimize non-specific protein adsorption and unwanted cellular adhesion in diagnostic devices.

• Nanoelectronics (OFETs): Improves gate dielectric performance by reducing surface energy and leakage current, enhancing the air-stability of organic semiconductors.

• MEMS/NEMS Lubrication: Functions as a molecular lubricant to reduce stiction and friction in nanoscale electromechanical systems, extending device lifespan.

• Superhydrophobic Nanostructures: Functionalizes nanotube arrays to create biomimetic "slippery" surfaces for controlled droplet transport and self-cleaning medical tools.

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
