Derivatize hydroxyls compounds, particularly carbohydrates with Tri-Sil TP (TMSI:Pyridine) reagent.

• Does not react with amines
• May be used with water as long as there is enough reagent present to react with both the water and the sample
• For use with GC
• Standard concentration: 65 to 80%, 20 to 25%
• Standard components are Pyridine, 1-(Trimethylsilyl)-1 H-imidazole
• Storage at 2 to 8 °C

Comprising TMSI in pyridine, this reagent silylates alcohols and phenols, organic acids, hydroxylamines, amino acids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, glycols and polyglycols, nucleotides, steroids, hydroxyl acids, barbituates, narcotics, indoles, and vitamins.
