[Analysis Case] Oil Analysis (GC/MS Edition)

When oil contamination is suspected, it is possible to distinguish between types of oil and estimate the source!

Our organization is capable of identifying the composition of petroleum products, evaluating molecular weight distribution, and distinguishing types of oils. Petroleum products such as oils and greases are mixtures of hydrocarbons with various compositions, and GC/MS methods are effective for their qualitative analysis. Here, we present a case study where commercially available oils with different molecular weight distributions were measured using soft ionization methods. Compared to hard ionization methods (EI), soft ionization methods (FI and FD) allow for the detection of molecular ions, making them effective for evaluating the composition of oil components. In particular, the FD method can also be applied to evaluate oils containing high molecular weight components that are difficult to volatilize.
