Application

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
Methyl pentadecanoate may be used as:
  • A standard for the quantitation of monoepoxy fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) by gas-liquid chromatography.
  • An internal standard for the extraction of triglycerides from de-shelled Jatropha curcas L. seeds by use of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction.
