Petroleum accounts for a large percentage of the world's energy consumption.

Petroleum is an extraordinarily complex material composed of many types of hydrocarbons with a wide variety of properties, making them difficult to analyze.

The soft ionization capability of the AccuTOF-GCx, combined with new software tools, simplifies the analysis of data sets from complex mixtures.
