A method for terpene analysis by GC–VUV is described that results in significantly shorter GC run times, the deconvolution of co-eluting analytes, and clear isomer differentiation. A new quantitative approach to terpene characterization is also introduced that provides automated compositional analysis of terpenes in mixtures.Fill out the form below to access VUV Analytic’s Knowledge Base.
