Analysis of Free and Total Glycerol in B100 Biodiesel Methyl Esters Using Agilent Select Biodiesel for Glycerides John Oostdijk, Agilent Technologies The American Standard, ASTM D 6584 (1), is the standard test method used to determine the free and total glycerol contents in fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), typically intended for pure biodiesel or as a blending component for domestic and diesel fuels.   Analysis of Fatty Acids in Infant Formulas Using a JW HP88 Capillary GC Column Shun Na, Agilent Technologies This application note describes an efficient and economical RTL-GC–FID method for determination of fatty acids in infant formulas.   Analysis of Organophosphorus Pesticides with Agilent 7820 Gas Chromatograph Flame Photometric Detector Agilent Technologies The Agilent 7820 series gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with a flame photometric detector (FPD) provides high sensitivity, good linearity, and stability for the analysis of organophosphorus pesticides.   Analysis of Natural Oils and Extracts Using the Low Thermal Mass LTM Series II System Roger L. Firor, Agilent Technologies The enantiomers of linalool and other important components of natural oils or natural extracts including cypress oil, geranium extract, balm leaves oil, and jasmin oil are separated on a multidimensional system using two separate GC ovens. Automating Complex Sample Preparations Using the Agilent 7696A WorkBench Agilent Technologies The 7696A Workbench is a standalone instrument specifically designed to automate sample preparation.   Detection of Sulfur Compounds in Natural Gas According to ASTM D5504 with Agilent's Sulfur Chemiluminescence Detector Wenmin Liu, Agilent Technologies An Agilent dual plasma sulfur chemiluminescence detector (DP SCD) combined with an online dilutor was used for the analysis of sulfur compounds. By using this method, the detection limits of the sulfur compounds achieved the ppb level.   Automated Clean-Up of PCB Extracts from Waste Oil Using the Agilent 7696A Sample Prep Workbench Frank David, Agilent Technologies A miniaturized dispersive SPE method for the determination of PCBS in waste mineral oils was automated on the Agilent 7696A sample prep workbench system.   EN 15779 — Gas Chromatographic Analysis of Polyunsaturated FAME in Biodiesel Made From Algae and Marine Oils James D. McCurry, Agilent Technologies A 7890 GC was used for the analysis of four polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl esters in algal biodiesel and explained using method EN 15779. Mine Gas Analysis Using the 490 Micro GC Darren Brady, Agilent Technologies The use of the 490 Micro GC for the analyses of mine gases, like carbon monoxide at low levels of detection is essential for the safety of mine workers.
