General description

BSTFA is a stronger silylating reagent compared to BSA. In most cases, BSTFA is used in place of BSA as the reaction products are more volatile avoiding interference with early peaks in a chromatogram. BSTFA along with TMCS is considered suitable reagent for quantitative reactions.[1]

Application

It was used in the derivatization of water during determination of trace levels of bisphenol A from plastic water containers, using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with GC-MS.[2]

Other Notes

Reagent for trimethylsilyl (TMS).
