Sean Jameson, SVP of Business Development at VUV Analytics, discusses the newly released ASTM D8519 method. This method extends established VUV-based hydrocarbon analysis into the pyrolysis oil range, enabling automated, scalable characterization of complex recycled and biomass-derived feedstocks up to C64.

VUV’s diesel fuel application enables rapid, automated measurement of saturates, aromatics, PAHs, and FAMEs in a single GC–VUV run using ASTM D8368. This direct-injection method requires no sample prep or calibration curves, delivers class-based spectral validation, and provides accurate results in under 30 minutes

VUV’s GC–VUV platform with ASTM D8267 enables rapid, automated measurement of total, mono-, and diaromatic content in jet fuel with superior precision and reproducibility compared to FIA and HPLC. This direct-injection method requires no sample prep or calibration curves, delivers results in 14 minutes, and significantly lowers cost per analysis

VUV’s GC–VUV platform with ASTM D8071 enables fast, automated PIONA and multi-parameter gasoline analysis in a single run. It delivers superior precision and reproducibility compared to traditional methods, requires no sample prep or calibration curves, and consolidates multiple regulatory tests into one cost-efficient workflow

VUV detection extends HPLC sensitivity into 150–290 nm, enabling direct detection of underivatized amino acids with higher signal and linearity than PDA, eliminating the need for derivatization

Demonstrate reliable measurement of water at trace levels and beyond in acetonitrile using gas chromatography (GC) combined with the LUMA Multi-Channel Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) Absorbance detector. Additionally, we will demonstrate the ability of LUMA to detect water and multiple solvents in a single analysis.
