General description

α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (α-CHCA) functions as matrix and helps in facilitating ionization of proteins and peptides in a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer.

Application

It was used as matrix in improving the detection of low concentration protein digests on MALDI-TOF.

Ultra-Pure MALDI Matrices

One of the most important aspects of our ultra-pure MALDI matrix substances is their ability to dissolve rapidly and completely; a brief vortex mixing is typically sufficient.

High pretreatment tumor lactate content is associated with poor outcome after fractionated irradiation in human squamous cell carcinoma (hSCC) xenografts. Therefore, decreasing lactate content might be a promising approach for increasing tumor radiosensitivity. As the basis for such experiments, the
