Bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide in the silylation of lipolysis products for gas-liquid chromatography.
When bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide is used to silylate lipolysates for gas-liquid chromatography, the pyridine solution containing the sample and silylating agent can be injected directly onto the column. Conversion of free fatty acids to methyl esters before silylation is unnecessary, since silyl esters elute as sharp gas-liquid chromatographic peaks.
