DESCRIPTION
High performance capillary columns for gas chromatography (GC). OPTIMA BioDiesel F is a special GC phase for analysis of FAMEs in accordance with DIN EN 14103 -2011. The analysis of biodiesel requires separation of typical FAMEs between myristic acid (C14) and nervonic acid (C24 -1) methyl esters. This analysis is possible on OPTIMA BioDiesel F in only 22 min. Additionally, linolenic acid methyl ester can be determined due to the good resolution. The extended standard DIN EN 14103 -2011 also covers smaller FAMEs starting from C6. Change of the internal standard from C17 to C19 also allows the analysis of animal fats.
