Hi, I am confused with using standard for my compound profile analysis. Im currently analysing termites defense fluid and focusing on fatty acid methyl ester and I have no data and previous study to confirm the defense fluid profiling for the species. I want to use standard from sigma-aldrich fatty acid methyl ester unsaturated for tlc and glc but im afraid that the defense fluid extract may contain saturated fatty acid. Is it ok to choose the standard? Im afraid that when im comparing my result and the standard peak will be different. Thank you.
