Abstract:
Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC) combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) is a powerful tool for analyzing complex mixtures. In this work, a combination electron ionization/field ionization (EI/FI) source was used with a GCxGC-AccuTOFGCx HRMS system to analyze petrochemical samples. Field ionization is a soft ionization method that simplifies the creation of type analysis reports from the GCxGC-HRTOFMS data by eliminating fragment ions that result in chromatographic artifacts. Enhancements were made to the GC Image software for the creation of templates for the automated generation of type analysis reports. Data from different ionization techniques will also be compared.
