GCxGC Solutions Ideal for Petrochemical Analysis  

As an alternative method for petrochemical analysis, comprehensive two-dimensional GC (GCxGC) provides a significant increase in the ability to identify and quantify individual compounds in complex matrices. By adding a second orthogonal separation to the existing one-dimensional separation, GCxGC provides an increase in compound detectibility as well as an enhancement in component resolution. Leco’s (USA) Pegasus® 4D GCxGC-TOFMS and GCxGC-FID/ECD instruments, both powered by Windows®-based ChromaTOF® software, have consistently been used to perform detailed analyses of these fractions.
