ASTM ® Test Method, D3606, is an established method used to determine the benzene and toluene content in gasoline—originally developed to analyze gasoline that did not contain ethanol. Ethanol is now added to modern gasolines to improve combustion efficiency. The presence of large amounts of ethanol in samples may cause co-elution problems with benzene. ENHANCED GASOLINE ANALYSIS BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY Using a PerkinElmer Clarus 680 GC with Swafer microflow technology and capillary columns, data quality and run times have been significantly improved. This approach completely eliminated all chromatographic...
