Agilent Saturn 2000 Identification of Essential Oil Components by EI/MS Application Note
This application note presents a strategy to improve the qualitative identification of essential oil components using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The method combines Electron Impact (EI) mass spectrometry with a commercially available flavor and fragrance library and a secondary confirmation technique using Chemical Ionization (CI) with a 50:50 mix of acetonitrile and d3-acetonitrile.
