Perfluorooctyl Bromide
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.
- Oxygen Transport: Due to its ability to dissolve high amounts of gases, it is used in emulsions to transport oxygen.
- Clinical Uses and Research: 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?
A: Perfluorooctyl 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 C₈BrF₁₇.
Q2. What are the main application fields?
A: It 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?
A: It is a colorless, clear and transparent liquid at room temperature, with high density (approx. 1.94 g/mL at 25℃), a normal boiling point of about 143℃, strong chemical inertness, and excellent oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolving capacity.
Q4. How should it be stored correctly?
A: It 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?
A: Operators 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)?
A: Yes, 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?
A: Under 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.
Q8. What purity grades of Perfluorooctyl Bromide can you supply?
A: Our standard grade is typically 99%. We can also discuss custom specifications for higher purity, lower moisture, controlled particle levels, or specific analytical requirements.
Q9. What documents can you provide?
A: We can provide COA, SDS, specification sheet, packing list, commercial invoice and certificate of origin. Please tell us the documents required for your import or compliance process.
Q10. What is the MOQ and sample policy?
A: MOQ is [e.g., 1 kg / 5 kg / 10 kg — confirm]. Samples for laboratory evaluation are available upon request. Sample size and shipping terms can be discussed based on destination and compliance requirements.
Q11. How should Perfluorooctyl Bromide be stored, and what is its shelf life?
A: Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep it separated from strong oxidizers and strong alkalis. Under proper storage, shelf life is typically [X years — confirm]. Keep the package sealed when not in use.
Q12. What are my shipping and payment terms?
A: We can support common Incoterms such as FOB, CIF, CIP. Payment terms can be discussed based on order value, destination, and long-term cooperation. Please contact us for a formal quotation.
Q13. Why should you buy from a manufacturer instead of a trader?
A: Manufacturer direct supply gives you better control over batch consistency, traceability, scalability, technical support, and long-term supply security. It also usually reduces communication layers and can lower total cost of ownership.
Q14. How do you request a COA, SDS, or quotation?
A: Please contact us at tao.hu@asiaisotope.com with your required purity, quantity, packaging, destination, and application. We will recommend the suitable grade and provide the available documents.
