Desorption mass spectrometry matrix

In mass spectrometry this compound is often abbreviated as "3-NBA" or "m-NBA." It has been used as a liquid matrix for fast atom bombardment[1] and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization.[2][3] In electrospray ionization 3-NBA is doped into low surface tension spray solvents to increase analyte charging.[4]
