Application: | Heptadecane may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of heptadecane in: • Bio-oils of bocaiuva residues by two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) equipped with electron impact (EI) ionization. • Cyanobacterial culture media by head-space solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with GC-MS. • Soil samples by ultrasonic extraction and silicone chromatography column purification, followed by analysis using GC coupled to flame ionization detector (FID) and GC-MS operating on selected ion monitoring (SIM) detection mode. • Stem ethanolic extracts of Cayratia trifolia by GC-MS. • Crude oils by SPME-GC combined with isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS). |
Application: | Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support. |
