Agilent 5890 Series I Fast Hydrocarbon Analysis Application Note
This document evaluates the effects of column length, oven temperature, and sample loading on the analysis time and resolution of hydrocarbons in natural gas. It focuses on using wide-bore HP-PLOT/Al2O3 columns to achieve fast separation of methane and ethane. The study compares 15 m and 50 m columns under various temperature programs to determine the best balance between speed and resolution.

Questions answered in these manuals
What is the optimal sample purge time for gasoline and GROs analysis?
The optimal sample purge time is 11 minutes, or 440 ml of helium purge gas, to ensure efficient recovery of high-boiling fractions.
What is the optimal GC run time achieved in this study?
The optimized GC run time achieved is 17 minutes using a thin-film HP-1 column and faster oven temperature programs.
What instruments is this bracket kit compatible with?
The document assumes the Gas Chromatograph (GC) is either a 5890A GC fully upgraded to a 5890 Series II instrument or a 5890 Series II GC purchased as such.
