Tribromoethanol (TBE) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C2H3Br3O . It is a halogenated alcohol commonly used as an anesthetic agent in laboratory animals, particularly rodents.
Tribromoethanol (TBE) can be retained, and analyzed using a Newcrom R1 reverse-phase column. The analysis utilizes a isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and phosphoric acid as a buffer. Detection is carried out using UV.
