Tetramethylammonium fluoride tetrahydrate 

Cat. No.: HY-W095635 Purity: ≥98.0%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Tetramethylammonium fluoride tetrahydrate (TMAF) is a quaternary ammonium salt. TMAF is commonly used as a weak base and a source of fluoride ions in various organic reactions, including nucleophilic substitution, functional group deprotection, and ring-opening polymerization. Unlike other fluoride sources, TMAF is compatible with many functional groups, making it a versatile tool in synthetic chemistry. Functional reagents, In addition, TMAF has been used as a fluorinating agent in medicinal chemistry, for the preparation of radiotracers and protein modification in biochemistry, and the tetrahydrate form of TMAF is more stable and easier to handle than the anhydrous form.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
