The liquid form allows for easy handling and accurate dilution, while its stability under standard storage conditions guarantees long-term reliability. Whether used as a standalone standard or in complex mixtures, this product delivers sharp, well-resolved peaks in GC analysis, enabling accurate quantification and identification of fatty acid profiles. The analytical-grade certification ensures compliance with international standards, making it suitable for research, industrial testing, and regulatory applications where precision is critical.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Methyl nervonate, 99% analytical standard for GC?
The product remains stable for 24 months when stored unopened at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal performance.
2. Is this standard compatible with all GC column types?
Yes, it is compatible with common GC columns like non-polar (e.g., DB-5, HP-5) and polar (e.g., DB-WAX) phases, but always verify column specifications for fatty acid methyl esters.
3. What alternatives exist for fatty acid methyl ester standards?
Alternatives include methyl palmitate, methyl stearate, or mixed FAME standards, but Methyl nervonate is preferred for long-chain fatty acid analysis due to its specificity.
4. Can this standard be used for LC-MS applications?
No, this product is optimized for GC analysis. For LC-MS, consider underivatized free fatty acids or alternative esterified standards with compatible ionization properties.
5. How should I prepare a working solution for calibration?
Dissolve the standard in hexane or isooctane to achieve a concentration of 1–10 mg/mL, then dilute further as needed. Always use GC-grade solvents to avoid contamination.
