Abstract:
Increased resolution and efficiency are every analytical chemist’s desire. Though a 60 minute analytical run has traditionally been common for analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) due to their unique structures, analysts in production environments often mention the need for faster run times to improve productivity. Using several key GC column parameters including selectivity and dimensions, run time for a typical 37 component FAMEs sample can be reduced to as short as 12 minutes. Using a high-cyano Zebron™ ZB-FAME GC column, demonstrated a successful tactics for achieving short run time, successful FAMEs testing methods for real samples.
