摘要:
The operation efficiency and accuracy of the simultaneous analysis of phospholipids, including fatty acid compositions are increased. After a first-time LC/MS/MS analysis for determining the phospholipid classes of the phospholipid contained in a sample is performed (S2-S3), a second-time LC/MS/MS analysis for determining fatty acid compositions is performed only for the detected phospholipids (S4-S8). By associating a method list in which an MRM transition for phospholipid class determination is recorded for each compound of phospholipid classes with a method list in which an MRM transition for fatty acid composition determination is recorded for each phospholipid compound, it is possible to promptly select MRM transitions for fatty acid composition determination that correspond to compounds of the detected phospholipid classes, and to easily create an analysis method for the second-time analysis.
摘要:
Petroleum or other hydrocarbon samples can be analyzed in parallel by 1) GC-field ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (GC-FI-TOF MS) and 2) two dimensional gas chromatography (2D-GC) equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID). The combined techniques allow for improved quantitative characterization of the compounds within a hydrocarbon sample. The techniques can be combined by correlating the 2D-GC FID data with the GC-FI-TOF MS data based on correlation of compound classes, correlation of retention windows within a compound class, correlation of individual compounds, such as paraffins, or a combination thereof.

摘要:
Methods are provided for rapidly determining the presence or absence of large numbers of contaminants in a test sample, such as a raw material intended for use in the preparation of a nutraceutical. The disclosed methods employ gas chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques together with the specific use of software in combination with a database to analyze data collected after ionization of the sample and determine the presence or absence of the contaminants in the sample.

A chromatographic mass spectrometer 100, 150 is provided with a measuring portion 21 for measuring n-alkane of a number of different carbon numbers, and characterized by further having: a mass number storing portion 31 for storing the mass number for each n-alkane; and a mass chromatogram preparing portion 22 for preparing a mass chromatogram for each mass number by focusing on the mass number on the basis of the mass spectrum.
摘要:
A method for identifying a convolved peak is described. A plurality of spectra is obtained. A multivariate analysis technique is used to assign data points from the plurality of spectra to a plurality of groups. A peak is selected from the plurality of spectra. If the peak includes data points assigned to two or more groups of the plurality of groups, the peak is identified as a convolved peak. Principal component analysis is one multivariate analysis technique that is used to assign data points. A number of principal components are selected. A subset principal component space is created. A data point in the subset principal component space is selected. A vector is extended from the origin of the subset principal component space to the data point. One or more data points within a spatial angle around the vector are assigned to a group.

The present invention relates to a method for analyzing mixtures of components by a process selected from the group consisting of flow based separation processes and flow analysis processes. The method comprising the steps of: obtaining measurement signals by measuring process conditions at a plurality of positions throughout the system; applying signal processing to the measurement signals, said signal processing comprising multivariate data analysis for condensing the plurality of measurement signals to a smaller number of main signals being non-correlated; logging said main signals; and displaying said main signals versus time, where changes of said system conditions are indicated by one or more of the displayed main signals; detecting any error occurrence during an on going process, and determining what part of said system cause said error.

A method of analyzing a liquid mixture comprising protein or peptide molecules mixed with other molecules comprises: passing a portion of the mixture through a liquid chromatograph so as to elute the molecules; transferring the eluted portions of the molecules to an ion source of a mass spectrometer so as to generate ions comprising a plurality of ion species therefrom; transferring the generated ion species to a mass analyzer for detection thereby; generating a respective record of the intensity-versus-time variation of each of a plurality of the detected ion species; identifying and distinguishing a set of ion species corresponding to the ions generated from the eluted portion of the protein or peptide analyte molecules based on the records of the intensity-versus-time variation; and performing at least one additional operation on ions of one or more of the distinguished ion species generated from the protein or peptide analyte molecules.
摘要:
This method allows for prediction of subsurface fluid properties (e.g., phase or API gravity) using gas chromatogram data of a small-volume extract. Small volume equates to microliter scale volume (or milligram scale weight) from a subsurface rock sample, where a fluid test may not be available for analysis. The method may also be applied to petroleum liquid samples where drilling fluid or other contaminants preclude accurate direct property measurement. Gas chromatographic data is calibrated to measured petroleum properties; preferably local oils from the same petroleum system, however, a general global calibration can also be used.
