Overview
Welcome to the AccuTOF™ GC series Petroleum & Petrochemicals Applications Notebook. This edition brings together practical application notes demonstrating how GC‑TOFMS enables confident characterization of complex hydrocarbon mixtures—supporting tasks from rapid screening and group‑type analysis to detailed identification of trace heteroatom species and additives.
Throughout the notebook, you will see how the JMS‑T2000GC platform and msFineAnalysis AI streamline both targeted and non‑targeted workflows by combining hard/soft ionization (EI with FI/PI/CI), Kendrick Mass Defect (KMD) interpretation, and GC×GC data analysis for deeper compositional insight. We hope these examples—spanning crude oil, diesel, base oils, waxes, and recycling‑derived pyrolysis oils—serve as a practical reference to accelerate method development, strengthen QC, and broaden analytical capability in petroleum and petrochemical research.
