| Description: |
1-(Perfluorohexyl)octane is a semi-fluorinated alkane, as well as a transparent, inert, non-toxic amphiphilic liquid with a refractive index similar to that of water, which prevents blurring of vision. In addition, 1-(Perfluorohexyl)octane improves tear film stability and quality by increasing tear film thickness and lipid layer thickness, allowing tear film reconstruction and preventing tear evaporation. It can be used in studies related to dry eye disease. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: |
Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide.
We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
