500 ug/mL in Ethanol
An omega-3 fatty acid essential for normal brain growth and
function, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plays an important role as a signaling factor
in cells for both anti- and pro-inflammatory processes. Levels of docosahexaenoic acid as well as
other fatty acids are analyzed by GC/MS or LC-MS/MS methods to monitor patients
undergoing diet therapy for mitochondrial or peroxisomal disorders. This
Certified Spiking Solution® is suitable for use as starting material in the
preparation of linearity standards, calibrators, or controls in mass
spectrometry-based DHA testing applications such as assessment of
cardiovascular disease risk and fatty acid deficiency, and detection and
quantification of DHA in nutraceuticals and dietary supplements.

D-120
|
500 ug/mL in Ethanol
A Certified Spiking Solution® suitable for use in mass spectrometry-based fatty acid testing applications such as assessment of cardiovascular disease risk and fatty acid deficiency, and detection and quantification of docosapentaenoic acid in nutraceuticals and dietary supplements. Docosapentaenoic acid (cis-7,10,13,16,19), also known as DPA, is an omega-3 fatty acid associated with neurological and ocular health benefits. Studies suggests that DPA as well as other fatty acids can serve as biomarkers for cardiovascular disease, and nutritional and metabolic disorders.
