AUSTIN, Texas, January 29, 2018 (Newswire.com) – VUV Analytics Inc., the leader in vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) absorption spectroscopy, has announced the addition of Ray Himmel as senior vice president of sales. Mr. Himmel has an extensive track record of leading sales teams, including 15 years at Waters...
Vacuum ultraviolet detection for gas chromatography (GC-VUV) has been applied to the analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Here we specifically apply the technology for the quantitative determination of trans-fat in various food samples. Two GC columns are explored, 100 % cyanopropyl and a PEG-based column. Linearity is demonstrated and then used to calculate relative response factors. These are then applied to a variety of food samples: fish oil, biscuit, baby formula, gummy vitamin and butter. Finally, quantitative GC/VUV results are compared to GC/FID.
The AOCS Annual Meeting is recognized as a premier international science and business forum on fats, oils, surfactants, lipids and related materials. You can see the presentation live at the Annual Meeting in ANA 5: Marine Oils and Other Products, May 9th from 4:40PM – 5:00PM.
Visit VUV Analytics at Stand 18 in Riva del Garda Riva del Garda Fierecongressi to learn how GC-VUV simplifies GC applications. Learn more about the compound identification capabilities of GC/MS-VUV, and get updated on the latest in GC-VUV analysis of FAMEs, PIONA, and residual solvents.
The application base of vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopic detection for gas chromatography (GC-VUV) continues to expand. GC-VUV is applicable anywhere that GC alone is applicable, and it provides qualitative information that is highly complementary to mass spectrometric detection. That said, data treatment is actually simplified given the unique and additive nature of absorption spectra from 120 to 240 nm.
Unique spectra based on the electron shape of a molecule can be obtained to allow differentiation of a large variety of isomeric components and classes.
Less emphasis is needed on chromatographic method development, since co-eluting species can be easily deconvolved. For both isomer differentiation and deconvolution, spectral similarity can be measured and considered to predict and understand method performance in various applications.
Several applications like oil-to-oil correlation based on aromatic profiles, cis/trans differentiation of fatty acids, water determinations in organic streams, isomeric differentiation of designer drugs and VUV selectivity of small industrial oxygenates will discussed in correlation to FID and mass spectrometry detection.

Highly purified mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) are used in several food and cosmetic products. In these MOH materials low levels of (residual) Mineral oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons (MOAH) can be present. The quantification of these compounds is by no means trivial. All samples contain a vast excess of MOSH (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons). The cause of these problems is often the use of non-selective analytical methods. Hans-Gerd will describe how GC-VUV provides a new solution to MOSH / MOAH analytical challenges through its unique selectivity.
