Webinars

In this webinar, Dr Ken Scally (Suez), examines the challenges involved in Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Criteria Working Group (TPH-CWG) analysis, and demonstrates the use of GCxGC–FID for thorough characterisation of both aliphatic and aromatic components in a single run, without the need for sample fractionation.

What the webinar covers:

• Hear about the challenges involved in TPH analysis for risk assessors
• Learn the basics of GC×GC and what it offers for analysis of TPH-CWG
• See how labour-intensive, offline sample fractionation can be eliminated, and GC–MS is no longer required for volatile petroleum hydrocarbon (VPH) methods.
• See how reduced sample preparation minimises the risk of error, while automated data-processing avoids operator subjectivity.
