3-Nitrobenzyl alcohol, 99%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
Description
3-Nitrobenzyl alcohol is the best substrate for cytosolic alcohol dehydrogenase. 3-Nitrobenzyl alcohol was employed as matrix during fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry. It was used in isolation of palmitylated peptide fragment from bovine rhodopsin and its characterization by mass spectrometry. It has been used as a liquid matrix for fast atom bombardment[1] and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization. In electrospray ionization 3-NBA is doped into low surface tension spray solvents to increase analyte charging.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
