Turn Your DHA into VHA with DH, eh? Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis of Gasoline with Gas Chromatography – Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectroscopy

Jack Cochran, VUV Analytics

Jack discusses VUV Verified hydrocarbon analysis (VUV-VHA) by GC-VUV. VUV-VHA automates hydrocarbon speciation while also providing PIONA GC analysis of gasoline stream samples.

Lunch & Learn Webinar Series, Episode 1: Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs) Analysis by GC-VUV

Jonathan Smuts, VUV Analytics

Jonathan discusses how GC-VUV simplifies fatty acid methyl ester GC analysis through deconvolving co-eluting peaks, resolving cis- and trans-isomers, and differentiating levels of FAMEs unsaturation.

LCGC Webinar: Better Living Through (Flavor) Chemistry

LCGC

LCGC webinar discusses the unique capabilities of GC-VUV for terpene analysis including fast GC run times, clear isomer identification, and spectral resolution of co-eluting peaks.

Time Interval Deconvolution: Now in Terpenes Flavor!

Alex Hodgson, VUV Analytics

Alex describes how fast terpene analysis using GC-VUV is enhanced by VUV Analyze capabilities including automated resolution of co-eluting peaks and terpene compound speciation.
