Chromatography used in biofuels analysis

BMC Biotechnology employed pyrolysis-gas chromatography quadrupole mass spectrometry in order to find out whether Botryococcus braunii or Chlamydomonas reinhardtii algae contained more carbon material.
The group of researchers was able to study sequences of up to 48 samples without preparation using the technique and it allowed the scientists to identify fatty acids, vitamins, sterols and fatty acid esters as well as hydrocarbons.
"Pyrolysis-GC-MS facilitates large-scale screening of hydrocarbon phenotypes for comparisons of strain differences in algae or impact of altered growth and nutrient conditions," the report said.
Sonica Devi, a student at Derby University, recently developed an ultra-sensitive means of drug detection in phone boxes using gas chromatography, which is now touring forensics conferences across the UK.
