Overview of Application: C10-C50 in soil
3
Challenges with CCME
•Integration: Achieve reproducible area counts without subjective manual integration
•Identification: CCME Fractions are based on apex RT of hydrocarbons
•Calibration: Average RF of C10, C16, C34 with min. 3 point linearity
•Quantitation: Average RF used against the total area for each identified fraction
4
Goals Using Galaxie
•Integration: Method defined time slice with horizontal baseline
•Identification: peak and group table to define CCME regions
•Calibration: Average RF is an available feature in Galaxie
•Quantitation: CCME fraction results are calculated in Galaxie

Integration and Identification
•Fraction #2: Area counts from the apex of nC10 to the apex of the nC16
•Fraction #3: Area counts from the apex of nC16 to the apex of the nC34
•Fraction #4: Area counts from the apex of nC34 to the apex of the nC50
•Time slice integration feature defines RT regions in the chromatogram
•Use peak table to name the individual time slice regions
•Use group table to define CCME fractions #2-#4
•Calibration check boxes appear on peak and group tables

Integration challenges with HC samples
•Inconsistent baseline treatment can force the use of corrective manual integration
•Time consuming
•Decreased reproducibility – subjective to the user

CCME Calibration for F2-F4
•Standards are equal amounts of nC10, nC16 and nC34. (min 3 point linearity)
•The average RF for nC10,nC16 and nC34 (%RSD<10%) is used for fraction quantitation
•nC50 RF must be a within 30% of the average of nC10, nC16 and nC34 RF
•Performance spikes must be recovered within 20%
Galaxie FeaturesGalaxie Features
•Calibration check box on peak and group tables
•Reference response factors used in calibration table
•Average RF available as calibration model, %RSD automatically calculated
•Variable editor used to create custom calculations
