Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) combine rather unique chemical and physical properties together with physiological inertness. Due to this, they have become useful tools in medicine. Whereas the majority of applications benefit from their excellent oxygen solubility, there are several applications making use of other PFC properties. The great importance of PFC ultra-purity is especially emphasized.
