What is Perfluorooctyl Bromide |Ā Perflubron?
Perfluorooctyl Bromide (also known as perflubron, formula š¶8šµšš¹17 is a clear, dense, non-reactive perfluorocarbon liquid with high oxygen solubility, commonly used as a contrast agent in medical imaging (MRI, ultrasound) and as a synthetic oxygen carrier for blood substitutes.It is known for its biocompatibility and ability to facilitate liquid ventilation to improve lung function in respiratory distress.

What are applications of Perfluorooctyl Bromide | Perflubron?
- Applications: It acts as a radiopaque liquid, providing contrast for imaging and potentially reducing the nee,d for donor blood during surgery. It is also explored for treating premature infants with respiratory distress and as a treatment to alleviate tumor hypoxia in cancer therapies.Ā
- Oxygen Transport: Due to its ability to dissolve high amounts of gases, it is used in emulsions to transport oxygen.
- Clinical Uses and Research:Ā Perflubron (often under the brand name Oxygent) has been investigated for intravenous use to increase oxygen delivery to tissues. It has also been tested for partial liquid ventilation in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1.What is Perfluorooctyl Bromide, and is it the same as Perflubron?
Aļ¼Perfluorooctyl Bromide is the standard chemical name of this perfluorinated bromoalkane. Perflubron is its International Nonproprietary Name (INN) for pharmaceutical applications. They refer to the exact same compound, with CAS number 423-55-2 and molecular formula CāBrFāā.
Q2.What are the main application fields?
Aļ¼It is most well-known for pharmaceutical uses: as an oxygen-carrying component in fluorocarbon artificial blood, a contrast medium for lung imaging, and a vitreous substitute in ophthalmic surgery. It is also used as a specialty cooling fluid, inert reaction solvent in the electronics industry, and a reference standard for analytical testing.
Q3.What are its core physical properties?
Aļ¼It is a colorless, clear and transparent liquid at room temperature, with high density (approx. 1.94 g/mL at 25ā), a normal boiling point of about 143ā, strong chemical inertness, and excellent oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolving capacity.
Q4.How should it be stored correctly?
Aļ¼It should be stored in a tightly sealed container, kept in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be stored separately from strong oxidizers and strong alkalis. Keep the package sealed when not in use to avoid moisture and contamination.
Q5.What basic safety precautions should be taken during handling?
Aļ¼Operators shall wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles and laboratory coats. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes, and do not inhale its vapor. It has low acute toxicity, but prolonged contact should be avoided. In case of leakage, clean it with inert absorbent in a well-ventilated area.
Q6.Is Perfluorooctyl Bromide a perfluorocarbon (PFC)?
Aļ¼Yes, it is a typical brominated perfluorocarbon. It inherits the classic characteristics of PFCs: high chemical stability, biological inertness, and outstanding gas solubility, especially for oxygen.
Q7.Are there special requirements for transportation?
Aļ¼Under normal transportation conditions, it is not classified as a dangerous good for land, sea and air transport. It should be transported in sealed packages, protected from rain, direct sunlight and violent collision, and kept separated from food and feed during transit.
