Application Notes:
This fatty acid methyl ester mixture contains 37 fatty acids for the identification and quantification of unknowns.1 It is prepared
from high purity stock material and contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. 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.
