Blood fatty acid assessment    
Kits for convenient collection of blood drops, their storage, shipment, and processing the samples for fatty acid analysis ( (3-n and 6-n polyunsaturated fatty acids) via gas chromatography.

These kits allow efficient sample collection and processing for quick collection of analytical information on the fatty acid content in the blood samples. Subsequently, it helps the care providers in development and application of adequate preventive dietary strategies for an individual.

Esterification and Transesterification Reagents    
Esterification is the most popular alkylation method. Alkyl esters offer excellent stability, and provide quick and quantitative samples for GC analysis.

Esterification is the reaction of an acid with an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst to form an ester. The process involves the condensation of the carboxyl group of the acid and the hydroxyl group of the alcohol, with the elimination of water. Esterification is best done in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., hydrogen chloride), which is removed with the water.

Transesterification is the displacement of the alcohol from an ester by another alcohol. This has been widely used for making esters of higher alcohols from those of lower alcohols. Transesterification can be performed with an acidic or basic catalyst using methanol to react with fats and oils.
