FIM-FAME-8 Mixture

This FAME mixture contains 5 fatty acid methyl esters for the identification and quantification of unknowns.1 It is prepared from high purity stock material and contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in the 18 carbon series. This mixture is very useful for bacterial identification,2 triglyceride determination and the analysis of various plant and animal lipids.3 Understanding the role of fatty acids and fatty acid metabolism in plants and animals is important in drug development. Composition: C18:0, Methyl octadecanoate (stearate) [20.0%],C18:1, Methyl octadecenoate (cis-9) (oleate) [20.0%],C18:2, Methyl octadecadienoate (all cis-9,12) (linoleate) [20.0%],C18:3, Methyl octadecatrienoate (all cis-9,12,15) (linolenate) [20.0%],C18:4, Methyl stearidonate (all cis-6,9,12,15) (moroctic acid methyl ester) [20.0%],listed in order of their elution.
