Triacontane is a fatty acid that has been identified as an optimum concentration for use in analytical chemistry. It has also been used in the process of biological treatment, where it is used to remove organic substances from water. Triacontane can be applied to surfaces using surface methodology and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods to identify bacterial strains. It can also be applied as a sample preparation technique prior to analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The light emission of triacontane aids in detection and identification of microorganisms or infectious diseases by fluorescence microscopy. This fatty acid has surfactant properties, making it useful for the removal of microbial infections on surfaces.
