Description

Perflutren (CAS 76-19-7), also known as octafluoropropane, is a high-purity fluorinated hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C₃F₈. This inert, non-toxic gas is widely utilized in medical imaging and scientific research due to its excellent stability and echogenic properties. As a perfluorocarbon (PFC), Perflutren exhibits exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low solubility in aqueous media, making it ideal for specialized applications. Our product is supplied in ultra-high purity grades (≥99.9%) with stringent quality controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Typical impurities are minimized to <100 ppm moisture and <10 ppm non-condensable gases. Available in lecture bottles or custom cylinder sizes with optional analytical certification.
