Automated Sample Preparation for FAME Analysis in Edible Oils Using an Agilent 7696A Sample Prep WorkBench
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automating fatty acid derivatization and preparation of calibration standards on an Agilent 7696A Sample Prep WorkBench for fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) analysis can provide comparable precision, better recoveries, and more accurate calibration compared to manual procedures. Hands-on time, reagent usage, and exposure to hazardous chemicals are all greatly reduced. This automated approach has been used to detect adulteration of olive oils with less expensive vegetable oils.

Improving the Analysis of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters Using Automated Sample Preparation Techniques
An automated method for esterifying fatty acids in canola oil samples is presented. Using the Agilent 7696A Sample Prep WorkBench, a side-by-side comparison was undertaken comparing a manual method employing automatic pipettors to a method developed for this automated system. Using the Agilent 7696A Sample Prep WorkBench, preparation of 10 samples resulted in 3% RSD for both an acid-catalyzed a...
متن کاملAutomated Clean-up for Mineral Oil (Hydrocarbon Oil Index) Analysis using the Agilent 7696A Sample Prep WorkBench
Mineral oil (or Hydrocarbon oil) in water samples is determined by liquid-liquid extraction, followed by a clean-up step on Florisil, and GC-FID analysis. Using the Agilent 7696A Sample Prep WorkBench system, drying and clean-up of samples obtained after liquid-liquid extraction can be automated. High recoveries and excellent reproducibility are obtained for the mineral oil fraction, while the ...
متن کاملAutomated Clean-up of PCB extracts from Waste Oil using the Agilent 7696A Sample Prep WorkBench
Solid waste, including petroleum based waste oils, transformer oil or mineral oil are screened for the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The analysis is typically performed by GC-ECD or GC-MS after clean-up using column chromatography, solid phase extraction (SPE), or dispersive solid phase extraction (d-SPE). Clean-up on silica or acidified silica removes polar constituents that ca...
متن کاملAnalysis of bisphenol A leaching from baby feeding bottles
Bisphenol A can leach out from the plastic surfaces of food containers and has been detected in various matrices such as plasma, urine and groundwater. Bipshenol A is an endocrine disruptor, which can mimic the body’s own hormones such as estrogen and may lead to negative health effects. In this Application Note, we describe a method to quantify bisphenol A and a structurally similar analog bis...
متن کاملAgilent AssayMAP Bravo Technology Enables Reproducible Automated Phosphopeptide Enrichment from Complex Mixtures Using High‐Capacity Fe(III)‐NTA Cartridges
Immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) using a nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) chelating ligand functionalized with Fe(III) is regarded as one of the most selective phosphopeptide enrichment techniques for LC/MS applications. However, the use of IMAC for phosphopeptide enrichment often results in unacceptably high sample‐to‐sample variability. Phosphopeptide enrichment is reliant on manua...
