Microwave-assisted sample preparation for FAME determination
24 Jan 2025Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) analysis is commonly used to calculate saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fat contents in both food and feed industries and related third-party quality control laboratories. A great number of these laboratories follow various AOCS methods, which rely on the use of standard and outdated techniques, usually employing hazardous reagents. Explore how FAME protocols based on the Milestone’s ETHOS X Microwave-assisted technology are a solid alternative to the conventional technique. Plus, compare the reliability of this microwave-assisted method against the conventional AOCS procedures.

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.FAMEMicrowave Sample PreparationFood SafetyFood safety describes the prevention of food-borne illnesses.
