FIM-FAME-6 Mixture (Methyl ester mixture)

This fatty acid mixture contains saturated and mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids in heptane for the qualitative identification and quantitation of unknowns. Microbial fatty acid profiles are unique from one species to another and can therefore be used in the determination of bacterial identity. All materials are analyzed to verify their identity and to determine their purity. All analytes are 98+% pure. This standard is accurately prepared by gravimetric technique (+/- 0.5%) and all glassware is class A rated. Ampules are purged with nitrogen/argon before and after filling and chilled before being flame sealed. Store ampules sealed as received and process without delay immediately after opening the ampule. Composition: Each methyl ester is 3.03% of the mixture except C16:0, which is 6.06%.,C4:0,C6:0,C8:0,C10:0,C11:0,C12:0,C13:0,C14:0,C14:1(cis-9),C15:0,C15:1(cis-10),C16:0,C16:1(cis-9),C17:0,C17:1(cis-10),C18:0,C18:1(trans-9),C18:1(cis-9),C18:2(all-cis-9,12),C20:0,C18:3(all-cis 6,9,12),C20:1(cis-11),C18:3(all-cis 9,12,15),C20:2(all-cis 11,14),C22:0,C20:3(all-cis 8,11,14),C22:1(cis 13),C20:3(all-cis 11,14,17),C20:4(all-cis 5,8,11,14),C22:2(all-cis 13,16),C24:1(cis-15),C22:6(all-cis 4,7,10,13,16,19),listed in order of their elution.
