Description
Application
α-CHCA is employed as a matrix to enhance the detection of low-concentration protein digests in MALDI-TOF analysis.
General Description
α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (α-CHCA) is a commonly used matrix that aids in the ionization of peptides and proteins for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry.
Other Notes
Used in MALDI-MS peptide analysis within proteomics to improve results.
