Abstract:
Calibration standards have long been in engrained in gas chromatography analyses. Using standards is not only time-consuming but also costly, especially for gas standards and for rare molecules. More importantly, calibration standards add an additional source for error, reducing the reproducibility of methods. In this talk, we describe a method for identifying and quantifying unknowns in a single injection using a parallel Polyarc/FID and mass spectrometer (MS). Examples will be shown for the analysis of hydrocarbons and oxygenates for applications such as isoprene and butadiene synthesis, and methanol to gasoline chemistry.
