Heptafluorobutyric Acid

Application Notes

Heptafluorobutyric Acid is used in determination of amino acid sequences in proteins. It is used as a mobile phase modifier which significantly improved selectivity in the HPLC analysis of histone proteins. It can be used at a concentration of 0.1% in the mobile phase of an HPLC/LC-MS protocol for the detection of marine bacterioplankton siderophores. It is used in the chiral LC analysis of (+)- and (-)-epibatidine. The analysis of selenium containing compounds using HFBA in the MS matrix has been described.
