Application Notes:
This fatty acid mixture contains saturated and mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids in heptane for the qualitative identification and quantitation of
unknowns. Microbial fatty acid profiles are unique from one species to another and can therefore be used in the determination of bacterial identity. All
materials are analyzed to verify their identity and to determine their purity. All analytes are 98+% pure. This standard is accurately prepared by gravimetric
technique (+/- 0.5%) and all glassware is class A rated. Ampules are purged with nitrogen/argon before and after filling and chilled before being flame
sealed. Store ampules sealed as received and process without delay immediately after opening the ampule.
