I have water extract sample and wants to measure FA for GC FID? Anyone have any idea what is the best solvent that can be use to dissolve the sample that can detect optimum yield for FA ?
You can use solid phase extraction with C18 tube and eluation of organic compounds with methanol. SPE is the best procedure for extracting organic compounds from water samples.
I am currently working on ethanol extract as well as water extract samples.My compound of interest are the fatty acids and sterol. I managed to detect in my ethanol samples but not yet on the latter sample. Thank you for your recommendation
