General description

Heptadecane belongs to the n-alkane class of petroleum hydrocarbons.

Application

Heptadecane may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of heptadecane in:

Bio-oils of bocaiuva residues by two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) equipped with electron impact (EI) ionization.
Cyanobacterial culture media by head-space solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with GC-MS.
Soil samples by ultrasonic extraction and silicone chromatography column purification, followed by analysis using GC coupled to flame ionization detector (FID) and GC-MS operating on selected ion monitoring (SIM) detection mode.
Stem ethanolic extracts of Cayratia trifolia by GC-MS.
Crude oils by SPME-GC combined with isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS).
