Description
MSTFA is a silylating agent supplied as a 12 × 100 mL multipack for chromatography sample preparation. With CAS number 24589-78-4, the reagent is applied to convert polar analytes into silyl derivatives prior to gas chromatographic separation and detection. It forms part of the chromatography accessories portfolio and is intended for laboratories running frequent derivatization steps across multiple instruments or parallel methods. Available from manufacturer Macherey-Nagel, the twelve-bottle configuration supports higher-throughput GC workflows, shared stockrooms, and continuous analytical programmes. Transport documentation classifies the shipment under UN 3316 as a chemical test kit for this packing arrangement. GHS labelling carries the signal word Warning and addresses flammable liquid hazards as well as skin and eye irritation, requiring appropriate handling, storage discipline, and personal protective equipment. The multipack format reduces reorder frequency while keeping each 100 mL unit sealed until needed, which is practical for pharmaceutical, environmental, and general chemical analysis laboratories that rely on consistent silylation capacity.
This article is part of Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), in Analytical standards & reference materials.

Questions about MSTFA, 12x100 mL
What is this article?
MSTFA, 12x100 mL is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Macherey-Nagel for laboratory use. It sits in Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
A chromatography standard is the substance, or the mix, injected so a peak can be named and quantified. Pesticide mixes, residual-solvent mixes and single-compound standards are different articles. The concentration and the solvent are the specification. The solvent has to be one the method may contain.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Analytical standards & reference materials. The sub-category is Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
