Application

Aceticacid 100% can be used as a background electrolyte (BGE) in CE-MS (capillaryelectrophoresis is coupled to mass spectrometry) analysis of peptide digests.

General description

Aceticacid 100% is the most commonly used additive or solvent in LC-MS (LiquidChromatography-Mass Spectrometry) applications.
We are committed to providing greener alternatives that adhere to the 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This acetic acid is bio-renewable and produced from sustainably sourced beechwood, minimizing waste and promoting resource efficiency. Thus it aligns with ′Waste Prevention′, and ′Use of Renewable Feedstocks′.

Klaus Faserl et al.
Methods (San Diego, Calif.), 184, 125-134 (2020-02-06)
The analysis, identification and quantification of histones and their post-translational modifications plays a central role in chromatin research and in studying epigenetic regulations during physiological processes. In the last decade analytical strategies based on mass spectrometry have been greatly improved
Risto Kostiainen et al.
Journal of chromatography. A, 1216(4), 685-699 (2008-09-19)
The most widely used ionization techniques in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) are electrospray ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI). All three provide user friendly coupling of LC to MS. Achieving optimal LC-MS conditions is
