Higher-energy collisional dissociation

Higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD, formerly higher-energy C-trap dissociation) is a fragmentation technique, often used for peptide modification analysis. generated via HCD pinpoint modifications such as phosphotyrosine with very high confidence. An added octopole collision cell facilitates de novo sequencing.
