Hydrocarbon standards
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2011 1:45 am
Hello guys
I am a fatty acid guy and run marine oil samples pretty much as standard.
I am looking at a series of cyanobacteria from cold climates and getting a whole lot of hydrocarbons on some lipid class analysis and GCMS
I was wondering if there was anyone out there in the wider group that uses a hydrocarbon standard (eg Decane, Hexadecane, Tetratriacontane etc mix) that they could recommend. I just want to confirm retention time and MS to something as I am not that familiar with these compounds. I usually get my FAME standards from NuChek.
Is there any hints when analysing/extracting hydrocarbons
Cheers for any help you can offer.
