Identification of Diesel Residues by GC/MS/MS

Abstract

Diesel residues were analyzed by GC-MS/MS. The use of GC-MS/MS determination in the SRM mode provided the unequivocal identification of the target analytes. The results show that fourteen kinds of n-alkanes, and several polynuclear aromatics were contained in the diesel residues. Each of them has its own regular pattern. GC-MS/MS is an invaluable analytical technique in suspected arson cases.
