Description

8',8',8'-Trifluoroabscisic Acid CAS NO 164457-19-6 is a fluorinated analog of the key plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA), engineered for enhanced metabolic stability and bioactivity. This compound matters for researchers and formulators seeking to precisely modulate plant stress responses, dormancy, and stomatal closure with greater persistence than native ABA. It is primarily needed by the agrochemical and plant science industries for developing next-generation plant growth regulators and as a critical biochemical tool in agricultural research.

Application

• Plant Physiology Research: A vital biochemical probe for studying ABA receptor interactions, signal transduction pathways, and stress adaptation mechanisms in model plants and crops.
• Advanced Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a potent active ingredient in experimental plant growth regulators designed to improve drought tolerance and water-use efficiency.
• Seed Technology: Used in research to control seed dormancy and germination timing, potentially leading to treatments for synchronized crop establishment.
• Horticulture & Floriculture: Investigated for applications in managing transplant shock, delaying senescence, and improving the shelf-life of ornamental plants and cut flowers.
• Biostimulant Development: Incorporated into high-value specialty products aimed at enhancing crop resilience against abiotic stresses like salinity and cold.
• Synthetic Biology: Acts as a stable chemical inducer in engineered plant systems for controlled gene expression related to stress responses.

Quality Control

Our 8',8',8'-Trifluoroabscisic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via NMR and MS, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. The product is sensitive to fluoride/strong alkali conditions; ensure storage areas are free from such contaminants. For long-term storage, consider keeping the primary container under an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal stability.
