| Application: | • Decanoic acid (DA) may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in tobacco by coupling needle-based derivatization headspace liquid-phase microextraction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-LPME/GC-MS). • Decanoic acid (DA) may also be used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte (DA) in water samples by a method based on continuous solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). |
| Application: | Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support. |
| General description: | Decanoic acid (DA) is a saturated medium-chain (10 carbons) fatty acid primarily used in the manufacture of plastics, cosmetics, and lubricants. DA is naturally found in coconut and palm oil. |
| General description: | This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food. |
| Other Notes: | Ion Mobility: TWCCSN2 value of 150.9 Å2 [M-H]- The collision cross section (CCS) measurement was provided by Waters Corporation, using the SYNAPT XS mass spectrometer. For a description and overview of how ion mobility enables the measurement of the CCS of an ion visit ims.waters.com  . Further information on the SYNAPT XS mass spectrometer can be found on the IMS microsite and product webpage. TWCCS measurements are expected to be within 2% of this reference value. P/N 21409 is part of the Waters Extractables & Leachables UNIFI scientific library which can be downloaded from Waters Marketplace. |
