New standards for detailed hydrocarbon analysis are now available from Restek (USA). PONA-VI (PONA 6) is a qualitative mixture of various gasoline and refinery materials prepared to provide nearly every component that may be encountered in feedstock and finished gasolines. Some oxygenates have been added to allow this blend to be used for DHA method setup. PIANO standards are also now available; these blends are ideal for calibrating complex hydrocarbon analyses and provide the greatest number of gravimetrically determined values for quantitative calibration.
