The Uses of HEXACOSANOIC ACID

Hexacosanoic acid may be used as a reference standard for the determination of hexacosanoic acid

  • in human serum and plasma samples for the screening of peroxisomal disorders by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) operating under selected-ion monitoring (SIM) mode
  • in biological samples by GC-MS
  • in microalgal lipids by solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by GC-MS analysis
  • as a naphthoxyethyl derivative by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with fluorometric detection
