Dear Carlos,

the "Fluorinert" oil used as an artificial bottom 
was chemically per-fluorinated tertiary 
tributylamine also known as FC43. It is used in 
mass spectroscopy and can be obtained from 
several sources. I recommend testing it since 
there may be UV absorbing impurities leaking into 
the water phase.  To be on the safe side you may 
incubate it with your buffer before use (maybe at higher temperatures)

Many greetings and best wishes

Claus

Dear Carlos,

you could use Fluorinert FC-40 (Sigma F-9755) or 
Fluorinert FC-77 (Fluka 47090).

Best regards,

Arne
