Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) analysis on an Agilent 8890 GC and its application to real samples

Agilent Technologies
23 May 2021

This Application Note applies methods GB5009.168-20161 and 5009.257-20162 to FAMEs analysis using a long polar column in an Agilent 8890 GC. The GC method was optimized for the separation of 37 representative FAMEs and 21 representative trans FAMEs in 80 minutes. The system retention time (RT), area repeatability, and linearity were evaluated, and a FAMEs mixture prepared from real oil samples was analyzed.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.

It is widely used in environmental testing, food safety, pharmaceuticals, and forensic science. GC is ideal for identifying and quantifying compounds that are gaseous or can be vaporized without decomposition.
