| Application: | MSTFA may be used in silylation procedure to detemine steroid hormones 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and estrone using GC-MS. MSTFA along with Trimethylsilyl chloride (TMCS) in eithyl acetate, acetonitrile and dichloromethane solvents leads to formation of trimethylsilyl (TMS) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) derivatives. |
| Application: | Suitable for the derivatization of amines, amino acids, carboxyl, hydroxyamines, indolalkylamine, n-nitrosoamino acids, nucleosides, phenolalkylamines, serotonin and tryptamine. |
