Ultrapure Super DHB is a mixture of 2, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) and 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid. Super DHB is a highly purified, recrystallised matrix for matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation (MALDI) mass spectrometry. Because this high quality matrix has been recrystallised, the improved purity enhances MALDI-MS signals. Ultrapure SDHB is ideal for both MS and MSI experiments where optimum purity is required.
- Available as a white powder
- Decreased contamination of ion source optics
- Can be reconstituted directly in the vials or convenient availability in imaging size bottles
- High tolerance to salts and detergents in samples
- Increased resolution compared to other common matrices
- Versatile matrix that works with a variety of samples types including peptides, proteins, glycoproteins, phosphoproteins, lipids, and carbohydrates
Research applications include mass spectrometry, tissue imaging and tissue profiling, analysis of peptides and small to medium proteins, analysis of phosphoproteins and glycoproteins, ISD (In Source Decay) experiments and analysis of lipids and carbohydrates.
