Automated Probe Microdistillation/Mass Spectrometry for the Analysis of High-Molecular Weight Compounds in Fossil Fuels

摘要

Automated probe microdistillation/mass spectroscopy is described. The application of computer hardware and the development of computer software eliminate the dilatory nature of acquiring both the temperature and associated mass spectra and reduces the acquired data for processing. The interaction of various hardware components of the system as well as the associated software is described. (ERA citation 07:061828)
