Product Overview
Methyl palmitoleate, 99% analytical standard, is a high-purity fatty acid methyl ester designed specifically for gas chromatography (GC) applications. This compound serves as a reliable reference standard for accurate quantification and identification of fatty acids in complex samples. Its 99% purity ensures minimal interference and consistent chromatographic performance, making it ideal for research and quality control laboratories. The methyl ester form enhances volatility, improving separation efficiency during GC analysis. This standard is particularly valuable for lipid profiling, food analysis, and biochemical research where precise fatty acid composition is critical. The product is packaged in a 1-gram format, providing sufficient quantity for multiple analyses while maintaining stability under proper storage conditions. As an analytical standard, it meets stringent quality requirements, offering reproducible results across different instruments and protocols. The compound’s stability and purity make it a preferred choice for laboratories seeking reliable fatty acid analysis in their chromatographic workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Methyl palmitoleate analytical standard?
The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored properly at -20°C in its original sealed container, protected from light and moisture.
2. Can this standard be used for both qualitative and quantitative GC analysis?
Yes, the 99% purity level makes it suitable for both qualitative identification and quantitative determination of fatty acids in GC applications.
3. What is the recommended storage temperature for this product?
For optimal stability, store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain the compound’s integrity.
4. Is this standard compatible with all GC column types?
While generally compatible with most non-polar and medium-polarity GC columns, always verify compatibility with your specific column type and analysis conditions.
5. What solvents are recommended for preparing dilutions of this standard?
Hexane or dichloromethane are commonly used solvents for preparing dilutions, as they provide good solubility without reacting with the methyl ester.
