Electron Microscopy Sciences (TMS) Tetramethylsilane 100 ML
Supplier: Electron Microscopy Sciences 21760
CAS #75-76-3 Si(CH₃)₄
Boiling point: 26.6-26.7°C
An organo-silicon compound, tetramethylsilane (TMS) is an ideal solvent for tissue drying for scanning electron microscopy. It is chemically inert, has as low boiling point of 26.6°C (lower than acetone, diethyl ether and 1,2-epoxy propane), and is soluble in most organic solvents but insoluble in water. These properties of TMS result in excellent tissue surface details.
