Sodium trichloroacetate is a chemical compound with a formula of CCl3CO2Na. It is used to increase sensitivity and precision during transcript mapping.[1] It was previously used as an herbicide starting in the 1950s but regulators removed it from the market in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[2][3][4][5]
