Abstract
The determination of biomarker compounds present in a crude oil is performed on an HP 5970 GC-MSD, a bench-top gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer, to demonstrate the instrument's feasibility for biomarker analysis. The sterane and triterpane distributions obtained from the GC-MSD analysis are compared to those produced by a research grade GC-MS, VG 7070H. Both qualitative and quantitative agreements between the two data sets are excellent. The results show that GC-MSD can be an alternative to the more sophisticated GC-MS in the routine biomarker analysis.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
