Description

General description

An omega-3 fatty acid essential for normal brain growth and

function, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plays an important role as a signaling factor in cells for both anti- and pro-inflammatory processes. Levels of docosahexaenoic acid as well as other fatty acids are analyzed by GC/MS or LC-MS/MS methods to monitor patients undergoing diet therapy for mitochondrial or peroxisomal disorders. This Certified Spiking Solution^® is suitable for use as starting material in the

preparation of linearity standards, calibrators, or controls in mass spectrometry-based DHA testing applications such as assessment of cardiovascular disease risk and fatty acid deficiency, and detection and quantification of DHA in nutraceuticals and dietary supplements.
