Evaluating Oxidized Base Oils By Flow Modulated GC×GC-TOFMS

At LECO’S GCxGC Workshop & Symposium (filmed at the LECO European Application and Training Centre, Berlin, Germany) Paul Harvath gave a talk entitled “Evaluation of Oxidized Base Oils by Flow Modulated Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography – Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry”. In his talk he gave an insight about the history and future of engine oils for cars, and how the lubricants changed over the times.

Paul Harvath (Added Dimension Consulting, USA), worked for General Motors in Michigan for 37 years and was responsible for the development of GM engine oil specifications.
