Simple Group-Type Analyses of Aviation Fuels

Group-type analysis provides valuable insight into fuel performance by linking chemical composition to physical properties, energy potential, and stability. Flow-modulated GCxGC-FID offers a robust and cost-effective approach for high-accuracy group-type analysis of both conventional fuels and emerging sustainable alternative fuels (SAF).

Dual-Detection of Plastics-Derived Pyrolysis Oil

Simultaneous qualitative and quantitative characterization of polypropylene- and polyethylene-derived pyrolysis oils is achieved in a single injection using GCxGC with dual FID and TOFMS detection. The LECO BT4D with Pegasus Paradigm Shift enables accurate group-type quantification while leveraging TOFMS data for confident compound identification.
