Agilent Technologies: Group-Type Analysis of Jet Fuel Using the Agilent Flow-Modulated GC×GC-FID</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/an_jet_fuel_flow_modulated_gc_gc_fid_5994_7775en_agilent_6f7cf01d29.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Jet fuel, also known as aviation kerosene and aviation turbine fuel, is a petroleum product primarily used as fuel for aircraft turbine engines. Characterizing the composition of jet fuel is essential for ensuring safe and efficient aircraft operation and for maintaining the high performance and reliability standards the aviation industry requires. This type of analysis also has significant practical importance for understanding the fuel production process and evaluating catalyst performance and lifetime. The aromatic hydrocarbon content of jet fuel is a crucial quality indicator and is subject to global regulations.&nbsp;</p><p>However, the number of unique hydrocarbon structural isomers in jet fuel exceeds the selectivity of conventional one-dimensional chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, which cannot provide the necessary hydrocarbon composition and carbon number distribution information. Comprehensive GC×GC has a number of advantages over conventional chromatographic techniques, such as enhanced resolution, peak capacity, sensitivity, and a highly ordered and structured separation pattern. The analysis procedure of such petroleum products can be significantly simplified, since GC×GC allows direct injection without the need for sample pretreatment. Additionally, the analysis of such petroleum products by GC×GC does not require any sample preparation or pretreatment, making it an attractive method for quality control laboratories.&nbsp;</p><p>This application note establishes a group-type quantification method for jet fuel according to China's NB/SH/T 6078-2023 standard1 using the Agilent 8890 reverse fill/flush flow-modulated GC×GC-FID system.2–4 The Agilent reverse flow modulator (RFM) is a differential flow modulator. It is based on the Agilent Capillary Flow Technology (CFT) and fractionates the carrier gas by simply directing the carrier gas flow. The system requires no additional footprint (since the modulator is installed within the GC oven), has no moving parts, is cost-effective, robust, and yields highly reproducible results. The system is particularly suited to analyzing middle petroleum distillates like jet fuel, because these mixtures typically have a well-defined beginning and end of elution in GC separations. This application note determined the relative abundance of 1-ring aromatics, 2-ring aromatics, and homologous aromatic series by carbon number in real jet fuel samples. The repeatability, linearity, and quantitative precision of the system was also evaluated.</p><h4><strong>Experimental</strong></h4><h5><strong>Instrumentation</strong></h5><p>An <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?instrumentationItems=2&amp;mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=8890+GC"><strong>8890 GC×GC-FID</strong></a> system with a split/splitless inlet and a reverse fill/flush RFM were used with the configurations listed in Table 1. Three different column sets were evaluated.</p><h4><strong>Results and discussion&nbsp;</strong></h4><h5><strong>Repeatability</strong></h5><p>RT stability is a critical characteristic for GC×GC-FID analysis, as peak identification relies on their position in the 2D chromatogram. The flow modulator, which does not involve any moving parts or cold/hot jets, achieves modulation by controlling the flow direction through a collection channel using an electronic pressure control module. By controlling the modulation process using the Agilent sixth-generation electronic pneumatics control technology, exceptionally stable RTs were achieved. Table 2 presents the primary retention time (1 RT) and secondary retention time (2 RT) data of various common aromatic species identified in jet fuel (n = 10). The 1 RT remains almost constant. The %RSD of 2 RT is less than 0.27% for all compounds, and near 0.0000% for most. The exceptional RT stability allows the user to generate a data template and use it for peak identification routinely without much concern about mismatch. The FID response in a GC×GC-FID system is also highly repeatable; the absolute area %RSD of each identified blob was typically below 2%, except in cases of very low concentrations such as benzene at 0.0033% mass, where it reached 2.95%. The normalized area %RSD is mostly below 1%, with a few exceptions falling between 1 and 3%.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion</strong></h4><p>The Agilent RFM flow-modulated GC×GC-FID system has been successfully applied to the group-type analysis of jet fuel. This system has proven it can provide high repeatability (both retention time and response), sensitivity, robustness, and quantitative precision. The exceptional retention time stability and precision in quantitation facilitate the ease of using the RFM for routine peak identification and quantitation. GC×GC-FID is a powerful tool that provides routine compositional analysis to further standardize jet fuel product quality.</p><h3><strong>2. MDCW / UCT Prague: Challenges in data processing and evaluation of scent samples analysed by GCxGC-TOF</strong></h3><ul><li>Poster</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/P22_Jana_Cechova_MDCW_Liege_2025_ac16733581.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>The aim of this contribution is to summarize the methods and procedures used in processing data obtained from the analyses of scent samples. The poster also demonstrates problems with the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=24&amp;search=ChromaTOF"><strong>ChromaTOF</strong></a> software in processing raw data (version 5.51.06.0 and 5.55.41_BT by Leco).</p><h4><strong>Data evaluation</strong></h4><p><strong>Three types of approaches:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>1) DA_2DCHROM [3] - automatic data alignment, anchor points not successful on such dense data&nbsp;</p><p>2) Kovats indexes – 15 manually selected peaks as references in each chromatogram, retention indexes calculation for all other peaks&nbsp;</p><ul><li>semi-automatic, not always successful, slightly subjective according to the person&nbsp;</li><li><strong>OUR CHOICE FOR MOST EXPERIMENTS&nbsp;</strong></li></ul><p>3) Target peaks – manually selected peaks (up to 300 per chromatogram)&nbsp;</p><ul><li>successful, but very time-consuming, subjective&nbsp;</li><li><strong>USEFUL FOR CERTAIN EXPERIMENTS</strong></li></ul><h4><strong>Material and methods</strong></h4><p>According to the methodology [1], samples were collected from a volunteer palms using glass beads (3.6 mm; cleaned before sampling). Samples were then extracted into ethanol and evaporated. The extracts were dissolved in 70 µl of ethanol and analysed by comprehensive gas chromatography (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=24&amp;search=BT-4D"><strong>GC×GC-MS, BT-4D</strong></a>, Leco). [2]</p><h4><strong>Conclusions</strong></h4><p>Data evaluation types 2 and 3 are unsuccessful for data acquired from the BT-4D GC×GC-MS. Evaluating repeatability when using a mixture of standards is not possible even when using the target approach (this could be done on a version for 4D-C type).</p><h3><strong>3. Thermo Fisher Scientific: Grant application resource: Using the </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/472"><strong>Orbitrap Exploris GC</strong></a><strong> 240 mass spectrometer to accelerate research</strong></h3><ul><li>Technical note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/wp_003116_gc_hram_orbitrap_exploris_gc_240_solution_wp003116_na_en_310e55f573.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Scientific research laboratories need to obtain confident results while maintaining the highest levels of accuracy and confidence. For many researchers, it is critical to have the flexibility and analytical power to tackle a diverse range of analytical challenges to gain a comprehensive understanding of their samples. Most of these laboratories rely on both targeted and untargeted analytical approaches, using both gas chromatography and liquid chromatography coupled to single quadrupole or triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS) instrumentation. These systems cover the wide range of chemical classes to be detected but provide only limited information for discovery workflows. For targeted applications, they are limited to detect only those compounds in the target list, and they require careful optimization of acquisition parameters for each compound.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>High-resolution, full scan mass spectrometry using Orbitrap technology provides a solution to:</strong></p><ul><li>Detection and quantification of an increasing number of compounds&nbsp;</li><li>Identification and elucidation of the chemical composition and structure of unknown compounds&nbsp;</li><li>Retrospective analysis of samples long after data acquisition&nbsp;</li></ul><p>High-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry has been available with both liquid and gas chromatography for many years and has proven to be a highly valuable analytical technique. More recently, the technology in gas chromatography moved to join the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Exploris Mass Spectrometer series. This new platform of a benchtop hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer opens up new research opportunities in a system with significantly reduced footprint, saving both energy and raw materials in their manufacture.</p><p>High-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry has proven to be a highly valuable analytical technique for both analytical science and scientific research applications. 1-3 Orbitrap mass spectrometry technology coupled to gas chromatography (GC) has evolved with the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/472"><strong>Orbitrap Exploris GC 240 mass spectrometer system</strong></a> (Figure 1), which delivers a maximum resolving power of 240,000 (FWHM at m/z 200), in a compact design and with intelligent informatic solutions. Researchers gain the ability to have the right answers the first time and the flexibility to adapt to ever changing needs from superior mass accuracy, dynamic range, and robustness.</p><p>This quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometer opens new possibilities for increased mass accuracy, sensitivity, and selectivity for GC-amenable compounds. The detailed examples described in this white paper highlight the benefits of highresolution MS coupled to GC for the confident detection of both known and unknown compounds in targeted and untargeted workflows. Figure 2 shows the different analytical approaches to increase scope of analysis through full scan high-resolution, accurate-mass data from a targeted list of analytes to screening and unknowns compound identification.</p><p>Here, we highlight how next generation technologies in mass spectrometry hardware and software innovations detailed in Figure 3 and Table 1 achieve increased sensitivity and selectivity on the Orbitrap Exploris GC 240 system.</p><h4><strong>Additional features for research applications:&nbsp;</strong></h4><ul><li>Thermo Scientific™ ExtractaBrite™ Electron Ionization (EI) source&nbsp;</li><li>Ion source includes ion volume, repeller, source lenses, RF lens, and dual filaments in all ionization modes, programmable from 50 ˚C to 350 ˚C&nbsp;</li><li>VeV tuning allows optimized low electron energy acquisition down to 8 eV&nbsp;</li><li>Chemical ionization (CI) source for acquisition with positive ion chemical ionization (PCI) and negative ion chemical ionization (NCI)&nbsp;</li><li>Entire ion source can be removed or changed to a CI source in under 2 minutes without venting&nbsp;</li><li>Vent-free column exchange with patented source plug combination EI/PCI/NCI ion volume can be used without the need for source interchange</li></ul><h4><strong>Conclusions&nbsp;</strong></h4><ul><li>With unprecedented resolving power of 240,000 and consistent sub-ppm mass accuracy, the Orbitrap Exploris GC 240 mass spectrometer is a unique laboratory tool for targeted and discovery workflows, where screening, quantitation, compound identification, and structural elucidation applications are required.&nbsp;</li><li>The Orbitrap Exploris GC 240 mass spectrometer provides selectivity to resolve target compounds from other interfering compounds and/or from matrix ions of similar mass, which is essential for the compound confirmation in targeted or untargeted experiments. As an example, a mass resolving power of 240,000 (corresponding to a mass resolution of 230,000 at m/z 167.08113) is needed to separate bifenthrin from the background interfering ions in a soil sample extract.&nbsp;</li><li>High sensitivity is maintained across all resolving power settings, ensuring unmatched analytical performance irrespective of matrix complexity and providing limits of detection of ppt levels.&nbsp;</li><li>Excellent sub-ppm mass accuracy accelerates the identification of elemental composition and compound identification in unknown workflows by allowing the use of narrow mass tolerances.&nbsp;</li><li>Availability of soft chemical ionization, such as PCI coupled with MS/MS, allows for structural elucidation and confirmation of parent molecules using accurate mass information.</li></ul>

Agilent Technologies: Enhance Your Capabilities with the Agilent </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=Cary+60+UV-Vis"><strong>Cary 60 UV-Vis</strong></a><strong> Spectrophotometer and Fiber Optic Probes</strong></h3><p><strong>Improve your lab operations</strong></p><ul><li>Brochure</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.cz/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/brochure_fiber_optic_cary_60_uv_vis_5994_8058en_agilent_1_4116ecd93e.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><h4><strong>Remote capabilities with fiber optic probes&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=10&amp;search=Cary+60+UV-Vis"><strong>Agilent Cary 60 UV-Vis </strong></a>spectrophotometer can be paired with fiber optic probes to unlock the potential for measurements that are not possible with traditional methods. These fiber optic probes allow for remote analysis, enabling a range of difficult measurements to be obtained, such as:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Measurements of small volumes, or of hot/cold samples&nbsp;</li><li>Measurements in controlled environments such as fume hoods or glove boxes&nbsp;</li><li>Measurements from areas in which it is difficult to obtain a sample, such as reaction vessels</li></ul><p>This remote analysis capability therefore enhances safety and convenience in the lab.&nbsp;</p><h4><strong>Enhanced workflow efficiency&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>Switching to the fiber optic probes can dramatically improve the UV-Vis analysis workflow. Unlike traditional cuvette analyses, fiber optic probes are significantly easier to wash and clean. In addition, the probes are very robust, unlike cuvettes (particularly quartz/glass), which can be expensive to replace when broken. This translates into a faster and more efficient process, allowing operators to focus on their analysis rather than on sample introduction.</p><h4><strong>Performance comparison: fiber optic probe vs. cuvettes</strong></h4><p>Our comparative study displays the reliability of the fiber optic probe for quick and easy measurements. The probe (1 cm pathlength) was connected to the Cary 60 UV-Vis via the fiber optic coupler to measure the absorbance of five standards (n = 5) of thymol blue in test tubes where serial dilutions had taken place.</p><h4><strong>Improve your lab operations&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>The Agilent Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer combined with fiber optic probes offers a simple approach to sample measurement, providing remote capabilities and improving workflow efficiency. Enhance your lab operations and experience the benefits of this powerful combination.&nbsp;</p><h4><strong>Why choose the fiber optic probe?&nbsp;</strong></h4><p><strong>The fiber optic probe provides a range of benefits:&nbsp;</strong></p><ul><li>Ease of use: The probe is simple to operate, reducing the time and effort required for measurements.&nbsp;</li><li>Durability: Built to withstand rigorous laboratory conditions, the probe is made from quartz, PTFE, stainless steel, and torlon, ensuring long-term reliability.&nbsp;</li><li>Lab efficiency: The probe provides time savings and increased productivity.&nbsp;</li><li>Cost saving: No cuvette is required.&nbsp;</li><li>Enhanced safety: Handling of hazardous chemicals are not required.&nbsp;</li><li>Remote measurement: Samples can be measured from any vessel type, up to meters away from the instrument.&nbsp;</li></ul><h3><strong>2. Shimadzu: Determination of Trace Elements in Whole Blood by ICP-MS with Simple Dilution of Samples</strong></h3><ul><li>Application note</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/an_03_icpms_230_en_8591295dc7.pdf"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><h4><strong>User Benefits:</strong></h4><ul><li>Whole blood samples are directly diluted and tested to avoid contamination and losses caused by complex pretreatment<br>processes, while saving labor and time costs.</li><li>Low sample consumption enables simultaneous analysis of trace elements in batch samples for research.&nbsp;</li></ul><p>Elements are crucial substances that sustain normal metabolism and life activities within the human body. They serve as components of certain enzymes, hormones, and so on in the body and are also significant indicators of human nutritional status. Blood is a common biological fluid, a complex liquid mixture mainly composed of water, proteins, glucose, mineral salts, and red and white blood cells. Meanwhile, blood samples for research are characterized by small size yet large in quantity.<br>Therefore, how to rapidly, accurately, and simply detect the content of multiple trace elements in bulk whole blood is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.</p><p>This article uses a mixed dilution solution of 0.2% HNO3+0.1 mg/L Au to dilute whole blood samples 20 times, and directly determines the content of 19 elements including Fe, Ca, Mg, Se, Hg, Pb in the samples by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/library?mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=ICPMS-2050"><strong>ICPMS-2050</strong></a>.</p><h4><strong>Conclusion</strong></h4><p>The content of trace elements in whole blood was determined with Shimadzu ICPMS-2050. The method was achieved with simple pre-processing, low pollution, low sample consumption, high accuracy, fast analysis speed. From the analysis result, even ICPMS-2040 with only He collision can meet the elemental analysis in whole blood. In addition,<br>ICPMS-2050 with the H2 mode can improve the sensitivity of Se.</p><h3><strong>3. Thermo Fisher Scientific: Pushing the limits for trace elemental analysis using triple quadrupole ICP-MS</strong></h3><ul><li>Other (Case study)</li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.cz/paper/29032"><strong>Full PDF for download</strong></a></li></ul><p>Ultra Trace Analysis Aquitaine (UT2A) was formed in 1999 as a spin-off laboratory from the University of Pau, France, and is today a renowned independent technology center dedicated to inorganic analysis. The team’s mission is to help their clients fully understand the elemental content of their samples—not just supporting them by performing analyses but also helping established laboratories develop and fully optimize existing methods, up to the generation of ready to implement SOPs. UT2A collaborates with customers from all industries and analyzes a wide range of samples, including waters, foods, pharmaceuticals, and polymers. UT2A also provides solutions to test established methods for evaluation of performance.</p><p>Jean Dumont is an application engineer with a background in elemental speciation who is now managing the routine analysis performed in the laboratory. He joined UT2A in 2003 as one of the first of what is now a team of 11 technical experts and lab technicians in the field of elemental analysis. “<i>The first ICP-MS I used did not yet have a collision cell, so we had to be very careful with interferences,” says Jean. He adds, “For us, it is also very important to include sample preparation into our considerations as it is vital to get complete digestions and also to decrease detection limits due to backgrounds.</i>”</p><p>UT2A received a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/products/1488"><strong>Thermo Scientific™ iCAP™ MTX ICP-MS</strong></a> in their lab and have used it intensively and in full production over a period of 10 months. This was possible as the system was fully qualified using IQ/OQ. The instrument was usually operated twice per week, and on each day of operation, approximately 200 samples were run, including all blanks, standards, and QC checks.</p><p>One sample that particularly benefitted from the novel technology within the iCAP MTX ICP-MS was an aqueous medical solution containing g∙L⁻¹ of NaCl but requiring a quite stringent quantification limit of 1 μg∙L⁻¹ for iron. Considering the 1:10 dilution, this means that the instrument needs to reliably detect 0.1 μg∙L⁻¹. “<i>That was easily possible thanks to the great sensitivity of the instrument in KED (Kinetic Energy Discrimination) mode,</i>” says Jean. This can be easily complemented by using reactive gases and triple quadrupole technology for advanced interference removal when needed. One example was a request to analyze selenium in a product that contains high levels of gadolinium, creating an interference through doubly charged ions.</p><p>Running such samples with only a light dilution upfront usually means a lot of maintenance on conventional ICP-MS systems, as salt deposits may clog nebulizers or contaminate the interface area of an ICP-MS. Ultimately, such effects lead to drifts and QC failures, as well as declining sensitivity over time. The Thermo Scientific™ iCAP™ MX Series ICP-MS instruments come with a redesigned sample introduction system and interface, greatly reducing such unwanted matrix effects. While the new interface design significantly reduces deposition during sample analysis, intelligent Matrix Handling (or iMH) helps to further reduce exposure of the instrument during non-productive analysis times (i.e., sample uptake and wash). Samples containing even higher amounts of total dissolved solids (TDS) can be diluted automatically using argon gas directly in the instrument with the new Easy Argon Gas Dilution (Easy AGD).</p><p>“<i>We have used the matrix interface for this kind of analysis, and there was no deposition visible on the interface. No issues pointing towards an issue with cones, not even with undiluted seawater,</i>” states Jean. If the interface needs to be cleaned, the easy access makes this a simple procedure, also for the sample introduction system. “<i>In case we’re asked to really push the quantification limits, it is also great to be able to easily access the extraction lens on the backside of the interface,</i>” says Jean. Compared to other instruments, the frequency of maintenance could be reduced. “<i>I explained to my technicians earlier that you have to clean cones every time you use the instrument. However, with the iCAP MTX ICP-MS, we only cleaned the cones for really pushing the quantification limits—most of the time, it was not required and certainly not done as frequently as before.</i>”</p><p>For laboratories where operators are switching between different applications and instruments, software is a key element to success. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://icpms.labrulez.com/products/1489"><strong>Thermo Scientific™ Qtegra™ Intelligent Scientific Data Solution (ISDS) Software</strong></a> is a strong asset. “<i>I have used former versions of Qtegra software, and I am now happy with all functions integrated into a single graphical user interface. Qtegra software is easy to understand, even for new users.</i>” Qtegra ISDS software allows users to define specific settings for each analyte, including different resolution settings on both quadrupoles. In addition, it comes with a series of useful tools supporting the efficiency of the laboratory, for example the Thermo Scientific™ Hawk™ Consumables and Maintenance Assistant, as well as the built-in feature set for Quality Control monitoring. “<i>We have created a custom alert to remind us to perform a detector set up and cross calibration regularly—for us, this is a key step in gathering the best data,</i>” says Jean.</p><p>Based on the experience with the system, Jean Dumont is very happy with the iCAP MTX ICP-MS. “One thing I did not particularly like with previous generations of instruments was the peristaltic pump, but with the new EasyClick design, this is now eliminated. Sometimes tubings were changed just because of the schedule, not because they were worn out.”</p><p>All in all, the addition of the iCAP MTX ICP-MS has left a strong impression in the laboratory. “If a customer were to ask me for my opinion on the iCAP MTX ICP-MS, I would say to do it,” concludes Jean.</p>
