Collection: Mass Spectrometry (MS) Reagents

Mass Spectrometry (MS) Reagents — contains matrix compounds and reference standards used in mass spectrometry, including matrix materials for MALDI-TOF-MS and FABMS/liquid SIMS such as hydroxylated cinnamic acid and acetophenone derivatives, as well as mass calibration standards. This group supports sample ionization and validation of mass measurement accuracy.

Mass Spectrometry (MS) Reagents are used by analytical laboratories and proteomics researchers in MALDI-TOF-MS analysis, where compounds such as alpha-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic Acid and 2',4',6'-Trihydroxyacetophenone function as matrices that assist desorption and soft ionization of biomolecule samples. Other aromatic compounds such as salicylic acid derivatives and thiadiazole are used as reference standards for instrument mass scale calibration.

Example products in this collection: TCI A0317 89-57-6 5-Aminosalicylic Acid, TCI C0002 331-39-5 Caffeic Acid, TCI A0418 580-17-6 3-Aminoquinoline, TCI C0287 321-14-2 5-Chlorosalicylic Acid, TCI A0425 2349-67-9 2-Amino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole, TCI C1297 5331-91-9 5-Chloro-2-mercaptobenzothiazole, TCI T1888 480-66-0 2',4',6'-Trihydroxyacetophenone Monohydrate, TCI C1768 28166-41-8 alpha-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic Acid.

Choose the matrix according to sample type and ionization mode (MALDI or FAB), and pay close attention to high purity, since impurities in the matrix can produce background peaks that interfere with spectrum interpretation. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
