Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons Analysis

The Challenge

• Samples are complex and require the aliphatic and aromatic components to be separated and quantitated.
• Existing workflows require time-consuming and labour-intensive SPE sample fractionation.
• Current multi-step sample preparation approaches use costly consumables and increase the risk of error.
• Previous approaches require multiple GC–FID analyses, with complex chromatograms making integration difficult and subjective.

The Benefits

• Easier Operation: No SPE . Labour-intensive, multi-step SPE sample fractionation is eliminated.
• Reduced Cost: Fewer consumables are needed, and solvent waste is reduced.
• Faster Reporting: Fully automated workflows allow real-time data processing, with all analytes reported in a single run.
• Doubled Productivity: Dual-channel GC×GC allows two samples to be run at once.
• Increased Reliability: Minimal sample preparation minimises the risk of error, while automated data-processing avoids operator subjectivity.

TPH Product Package

Thorough characterisation of aliphatic and aromatic components in a single run is achieved using our ‘TPH’ product package, which includes robust GC hardware , INSIGHT GC×GC flow modulation device and ChromSpace software for simple group-type analysis and reporting of the TPH-CWG bands.
