Merck, F3556, Fluorinert™FC-770

General description
Fluorinert™ belongs to the group of aliphatic compounds. It is considered as a pressure-transmitting medium because it is highly inert. Fluorinert™ Electronic Liquid FC-770 is a thermally stable, fully-fluorinated liquid that has ideal properties for use as a heat transfer fluid in a variety of industries. The inertness of Fluorinert™ FC-770 permits its use as a direct contact single and two-phase coolant in certain supercomputers and sensitive military electronics. Its high dielectric strength and electrical resistivity are ideal for applications in high voltage transformers and power electronics. In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, its wide liquid range makes Fluorinert™ liquid FC-770 suited for cooling ion implanters, dry etchers and CVD machines. Its low pour point also permits its use in thermal shock and test equipment.
Application
Fluorinert™ FC-770 has been used as an enema in a multimodality imaging study (MRC and endoscopy) for quantitative analysis of the effect of rapamycin on colonic adenomas in mouse model. In the same context it has also been used for anatomic and functional (dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)- MRI) assessment of colonic polyps in multiple intestinal neoplasia mice. It may also be used a compound to calibrate electron ionization (EI) mass spectroscopy.
