Matrix Materials (for FABMS and liquid SIMS)

Matrix Materials (for FABMS and liquid SIMS) — contains viscous, low-vapor-pressure organic matrix liquids such as glycerol, thioglycerol, and nitrobenzyl derivatives, which play a role in stabilizing and dispersing analytes during fast atom bombardment ionization.

Matrix Materials for FABMS and Liquid SIMS are used by mass spectrometry specialists to prepare samples for FAB-MS and liquid SIMS techniques, where the matrix keeps the analyte in the liquid phase during bombardment with high-energy particle beams. Matrix selection also determines ionization efficiency and the background of the resulting mass spectrum.

Example products in this collection: TCI S0380 37682-29-4 2-Nitrophenyl n-Octyl Ether [Matrix for FABMS and liquid SIMS], TCI S0373 56-81-5 Glycerol [Matrix for FABMS and liquid SIMS], TCI S0378 619-25-0 3-Nitrobenzyl Alcohol [Matrix for FABMS and liquid SIMS], TCI S0374 96-27-5 1-Thioglycerol [Matrix for FABMS and liquid SIMS], TCI S0376 111-42-2 Diethanolamine [Matrix for FABMS and liquid SIMS].

Match the matrix type to the polarity of the analyte and the mass range being observed, and pay attention to the viscosity and low vapor pressure that are the main requirements for these matrix materials. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
