As biodiesel use increases, the risk of FAME cross-contamination in aviation fuel has become a critical quality and safety concern. This application note demonstrates the IP 585 GC-MS method for the detection and quantification of biodiesel-derived FAMEs in jet fuel using the SCION 8500 GC platform equipped with a split/spitless injector, SCION WAXMS column and 8700 SQ-MS and 8400PRO sampler, delivering excellent separation, precision, linearity and recovery performance.

Key learnings from this application note:

1. Discover how the SCION Instruments’ Mass Spectrometer Single Quad can be used to identify FAME compounds.
2. Learn how method IP-585 is validated with excellent linearity and repeatability results.
3. See how the NIST library tool can be used to identify FAME compounds.
4. See how sensitivity can be improved using multiple quantifiers as directed in IP-585
