Proposal for a deconvolution procedure for the gas chromatographic estimation of pristane and phytane in marine sediments

In this paper, a deconvolution procedure for improving the quantitative estimation of specific hydrocarbons by chromatographic techniques is reported. The proposed technique has been applied to the gas chromatographic determination of the pristane to phytane (pri/phy) ratio, an important parameter for the evaluation of biogenic and anthropogenic contributions present in the hydrocarbon content of ...

Non-woven electrostatic media for chromatographic separation of biological particles

The filtration and separation of biological particles has been estimated as 40% of the cost in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Liquid chromatography that is the principal method for separating biological particles uses a permanent phase of ultrafine adsorbent particles such as porous silica or resin spheres with particle sizes down to about 1 micron. Speed and resolution are two competing ...

Rapid Gas Chromatographic Technique for the Determination of HYDROGEN in Reactor & Process Streams and Fuel-Cell Systems

HYDROGEN is the most prevalent Element in the Universe… the “essence of Star Stuff” according to the late, great Carl Sagan. It is the ultimate “clean” fuel, with WATER as the predominant waste product… though care must be taken to minimize its unfortunate tendency to cause explosions. Hydrogen is formed in Nuclear Reactors, from low-efficiency Hydrolysis, in smaller amounts from natural Bio-Mass ...

Development of headspace–gas chromatography–flame ionization detection procedure to determine volatile fatty acids in zoo organic waste leachates

In order to determine volatile fatty acids (short chain monocarboxylic acids with 2 to 6 carbon atoms in a molecule) in leachates formed in organic waste piles a procedure based on static headspace (HS) coupled with gas chromatography (GC) have been proposed and optimized. The conditions of HS extraction and sample introduction into a gas chromatograph as well as of chromatographic separation ...

Complex Mixture Using Hydrogen as a Carrier Gas

The following technical brief aims to demonstrate the performance of GC-MS using hydrogen as a carrier gas. Here we compare the performance of hydrogen and helium for the analysis of a complex mixture. The results show that by using hydrogen, chromatographers can achieve superior results to helium, with faster run times and taller, sharper ...

An overview of post-column derivatization methods from a pharmaceutical applications perspective

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is the technique of choice for separating analytes pursuant to their detection, identification, quantification and/or purification. Most organic substances, and certainly the majority of pharmaceuticals, are polar, nonvolatile or thermally labile molecules that are amenable to HPLC separation. Moreover, the availability of a large variety of LC column ...

GC Analysis of Crude Oil Samples in Compliance with ASTM D5307

In the ASTM D5307 test method, crude oil containing components with boiling points to temperatures in excess of 538C (C44 or equivalent) are analyzed by a simulated distillation GC system by the internal standard method. A detailed boiling point distribution graph is created for the fraction with boiling points lower than 538C. The fraction with boiling points above 538C is calculated as ...

The Extraction of Glycols From Water Using ENVI-Carb™ Plus Solid Phase Extraction Cartridges

The analysis of glycols such as propylene and ethylene glycol from water samples is traditionally done by direct aqueous injection into a gas chromatograph. Aqueous injections are problematic in GC analysis due to issues such as the large expansion volume of water in the inlet, increased carryover, and elevated detection limits. In this work, we have evaluated a unique carbon adsorbent, ENVI-Carb ...

The development of cation-exchange chromatography in free amino acids analysis

Although it was not called a liquid chromatograph, the first such instrument was introduced in late 1959 by Beckman Instruments and was designated the M.S. Amino Acid Analyzer in honour of Moore and Stein. Inject valves had yet to be invented, the buffer switching valves were glass stopcocks and the column temperature was controlled by circulating water baths. Two positive displacement pumps ...

ChlorAC Buffer

Introduction Trace analysis of carbamate insecticide residues in water is a routine requirement in the U.S. Since several of the common carbamates — Carbaryl, Oxamyl, Hydroxycarbofuran — are labile in water due to oxidation or hydrolysis, the samples and standards must be preserved in order to obtain valid results. USEPA Method 531.1 specifies pH adjustment, ...
