The most volatile trimethylsilyl amide available. MSTFA is a very strong TMS donor which does not cause any noticeable FID fouling even after long-time measuring series. The already good solution characteristics can be improved by addition of submolar quantities of protic solvents. MSTFA are complete reaction with high reaction rates, even without a catalyst (1–2 % TMCS or TSIM) and the by-product of the reaction (N-methyltrifluoroacetamide) features high volatility and short retention time.
