Pentafluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride is used as derivatizing reagent for simultaneous determination of fluoxetine and p-trifluoromethylphenol, an O-dealkylated metabolite of fluoxetine in human liver microsomes. It is also used for electrophore labeling of small tyrosyl peptides for their analysis by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection. It is also employed as derivatizing reagent for amphetamine in determination of amphetamine in human plasma samples using gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
