Sample verificationEach AC standard is carefully manufactured and shipped using our high quality procedures. A sample booklet is included with the standards and contains detailed chromatographic information about the sample. To overcome any wrong interpretation of the results it is necessary to check your actual AC standard run performed on site with the example chromatogram in the booklet. If any discrepancy is found, we advise you to contact AC before continuing analyzing your samples.
Important sample informationStore the ampoules in a freezer. They contain a mixture of low boiling components. So once opened, the lifetime is limited!WARNING - Light hydrocarbons are toxic. Avoid inhaling fumes and contact
with any part of the body.
WARNING - Light hydrocarbons are extremely flammable. The fumes and vapors from light hydrocarbons are easily ignited. Keep this material away from flames, sparks and other sources of heat.
WARNING - Oxygenated hydrocarbons, such as alcohols and ethers, may be harmful or toxic and are extremely flammable.
CAUTION - The broken glass ampoule has sharp edges which may cause cuts to the skin. Take care when breaking the top of this ampoule.
WARNING - Carbon Disulfide (CS2) is highly toxic. Utilize this chemical only in a Fume hood. Avoid inhaling fumes. CS2 is easily absorbed through the skin. Avoid any contact with any part of your body.
WARNING - Carbondisulfide (CS2 ) is extremely flammable. The flash point of CS2 is very low:-30°C. Fume and vapors are heavier than air and will travel long distances. Do not use CS2 nearopen flames, sparks or sources of heat. Do not use open containers or vials of CS2 near hot injectors or detectors on the gaschromatograph.
WARNING - Carbondisulfide (CS2 ) boils at very low temperature: 45°C. When storing or working with CS2 never expose a container or vial containing CS2 to temperature excee ding 45°C.
WARNING - Carbon Disulfide evaporates very quickly. Handle one vial at the time and seal the vial immediately after preparation.

System configuration
All information illustrated in this sample booklet is obtained by configuring the GC to the following setup and by making the adjustments given below.The obtained RFA data is the average of approximately 50 RFA analyses on different AC Detailed Hydrocarbon Analyzers (AC DHA).
System : AC DHA analyzerColumn : 100 meter x 0.25 mm ID x 0.5 mSample size : 0.2 lSplit ratio : 100:1Inlet temperature : 250 CDetector temperature : 250 COven : Initial temperature 35 C

n-Paraffins Calibration Standard
Storage instructionsThe n-paraffin mix is shipped as a concentrated liquid suspension of normal alkanes. The vial contains approximately 1.0 grams, and must be diluted with Carbon Disulfide prior to use. Store the mixture in the refrigerator prior to preparation. Do not heat the concentrated liquid suspension.
Sample preparationThe DHA analysis is based on the principle of referring component retention times to the retention times of n-paraffins according to the Kovats index. The retention times of n-paraffins are measured with two standards, a natural gas standard and a n-paraffin standard. The n-paraffin standard, part number 25115.610, consists of n-paraffins from C5 to C14. This measurement should be carried out on a regular basis to prevent erroneous storage of retention times of the n-paraffins.
Preparing a n-paraffins C5 to C14 standard Fill a 2 ml vial with 0.1 gram of the n-paraffins standard Add to the vial approximately 1 ml CS2. This will give a solution of approximately 1
mass% per component Seal the vial and shake well Place the vial in the desired position of the automatic liquid sampler tray
