Description

General description

Hexacosanoic acid is classified under the very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) group of biologically important compounds.

Application

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

Analysis Note

LC-MS: identity conformes
