RETENTION INDEX STANDARD


For Gas Chromatography
SIGMA TECHNICAL BULLETIN #R8769
Product No. R 8769

Description:
Sigma Retention Index Standard consists of a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons ranging from C8 through
C32, dissolved in hexane. It is designed to be used to obtain Kovats-type gas Chromatographic retention
indices, which are useful for preliminary identification of unknowns and as an aid in GC method development.
Components with carbon numbers that are a multiple of five are at 2X concentration to allow easy
determination of carbon numbers for peaks of interest.
Composition:
All components used are 98+% pure and are dissolved in GC grade Hexane at the nominal concentrations
listed below:

Typical Temperature Programmed Chromatogram


Column 15m x 0.20mm x 0.2 um Supelco SPB-1 (Cat. No. 2-4162)
Oven Temperature 30°C (0 min.), then 5°/min. to 300°C
Calculations:
A retention index value may be calculated for a peak by comparing its retention characteristics to those of the two closest
eluting components in the RETENTION INDEX STANDARD, analyzed under identical conditions, using equations such as
those found below.1-2 Presumptive identifications can often be made by comparing the Retention Index value to a value
previously determined by you or values published in various literature references.3-7

where: / = retention index for isothermal GC analysis


IT = retention index for temperature programmed GC analysis, constant heating rate
t'Ri = adjusted retention time of sample peak*
t'Rz = adjusted retention time of n-alkane peak eluting immediately before sample peak*
t'R(z+1) = adjusted retention time of n-alkane peak eluting immediately after sample peak*
z = carbon number of n-alkane peak eluting immediately before sample peak
tTRi = retention time of sample peak
tTRz = retention time of n-alkane peak eluting immediately before sample peak
tTR(z+1) = retention time of n-alkane peak eluting immediately after sample peak
*Note: adjusted retention time = peak retention time minus retention time of an unretained peak
Examples:
Isothermal analysis
Sample peak = 2.55 min. Unretained peak (air, methane, etc.) = 0.70 min. C18
peak = 2.16 min. C19 peak = 2.81 min.
Temperature programmed analysis

Sample peak = 12.60 min. C18 peak=
