Application: | Nervonic acid may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of nervonic acid in: • Berry seed extract samples by gas chromatography equipped with mass spectrometer detector (GC-MSD). • Human blood by isotope-dilution gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (ID-GC-NCI-MS). • Human plasma samples employed in the clinical smoking cessation study by GC combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometry operating under the electron ionization (EI) mode. • Brain tissue samples by 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: | Nervonic acids are the products of desaturation and elongation processes of various fatty acids such as palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, etc. |
