Application



  • Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization: Sodium octyl sulfate was evaluated as a matrix in MALDI-TOF MS for amino acids, showcasing its potential in enhancing ionization efficiency in proteomic analyses (Yazdabadi et al., 2021).


  • Ultrasonic synthesis of stable oil filled microcapsules: This study explores the ultrasonic synthesis of oil-filled microcapsules using thiolated chitosan, potentially involving derivatives like ᴅʟ-N-Acetylhomocysteine thiolactone for improved stability and functional properties. The research provides insights into advanced microencapsulation techniques relevant in pharmaceutical and industrial applications (Source).
