| Application: | BSTFA + 1% TMCS (trimethylsilyl) in ethyl acetate, acetonitrile and dichloromethane solvents may be used for silylation of steroid hormone 17a-ethinylestradiol (EE2) using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). It may also be used for silylation of endogenous 2-monoglyceride, present in canine gut that binds to cannabinoid receptors. |
