Description

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.

Application

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

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.
