Take your oil and petroleum sample characterization to a whole new level with the Pegasus GC-HRT 4D, from LECO (USA). Combining the separation power of GCxGC with accurate mass deconvolution leads to clearer, more confident identifications in crude oils, engine oils, dilbit, and bitumen samples. In particular, exact mass determination, heteroatomics speciation, degree of unsaturation, and carbon number determination allows you to characterise what was once only previously hypothesised.
ChromaTOF-HR brand software with High Resolution Deconvolution (HRD) is tailored to get the most out of your high resolution data using NIST and Accurate Mass Libraries. Work flows enabled by features such as pseudo-molecular ions via Chemical Ionization, retention time matching, isotope patterns, and mass accuracy of deconvoluted fragments—all lead to confident identification of unknown species. With mass accuracies of 1 ppm and peak capacity potential at least two times greater than any currently available on the marketplace, the Pegasus GC-HRT 4D is the solution to comprehensively characterising even the most complex petroleum samples.
