Laser/Desorption Ionization FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry as a Tool for Statistical Analysis of Crude Oils
31 Oct 2014Crude oil samples can be distinguished at the molecular level by LDI ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry. LDIFT-ICR mass spectrometry is capable of classifying crude oils by principle component analysis (PCA). In this application note, LDI-FT-ICR measurements provide the reproducibility required for efficient PCA characterization. Crude oils are best separated in PCA scoring plots using average mass lists and logarithmic scaling.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
