Methyl hexadecanoate

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

Methyl hexadecanoate is a chemical compound commonly used as a reference standard in analytical laboratories. It is a saturated fatty acid ester with the molecular formula CH3(CH2)14COO-CH3. The compound is a colorless, waxy solid at room temperature and has a high melting point. Methyl hexadecanoate is often used as a calibration standard in various analytical techniques, such as gas chromatography, to help identify and quantify other fatty acid compounds in samples.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
