  • Patent number: 8413484
    Abstract: A method and system for rapid determination of a hydrocarbon type composition, such as crude oils and fractions thereof, and s obtaining the information necessary to assess the yield of commercially valuable fuel and lube oil fractions in a single process, variations of the method and system use Gas Chromatography-FID/Mass Spectrometry and other features, including an auto sampler, a wall coated capillary column, a temperature programmable injector, and a data processing system for compiling and processing the experimental data. The system and method further include a computer system with application software or other processing mechanism and optionally a communication network. One variation provides a graphical user interface for the entry of data and for displaying information, such as in a graphical manner, to show the relationship of various determined outputs and results.

  • Publication number: 20060125826
    Abstract: Systems and methods for correlating and displaying the data produced by GC and MS. The data are correlated by representing MS data in the time domain, and GC and MS data are simultaneously displayed. When a particular mass spectrum is extracted, a search engine searches libraries for components with matching mass spectra. Further features provide for manipulation of the display, extraction of ion signals, subtraction of spectra from the display, removal of ions from the display, performing ion interference analysis, filtering the displayed data based on various criteria, transferring MS data to an active parameter data file, and transferring MS data to libraries.

  • Patent number: 5057126
    Abstract: In gas chromatography wherein only the more volatile components of a multi-component sample are of interest, the sample is injected into a hot vaporization chamber containing a packing material. An inert carrier gas sweeps the resulting vaporized gases through a second packed column at a lower temperature than the vaporization chamber. After the more volatile components of interest have passed an intermediate conduit, a backflushing stream is fed sequentially through the second column and the vaporization chamber, exhausting through a vent. Simultaneously with opening of the vent, and beginning of the backflushing, a further stream continues to drive the portion of the first stream containing the more volatile components toward and through a chromatographic analytic column.
