Description

17Beta(H), 21Alpha(H)-30-Norhopane is a specific pentacyclic triterpane biomarker belonging to the hopane series. This compound is of significant value as a geochemical standard and diagnostic tool in petroleum and environmental geochemistry. It is primarily needed by research laboratories, analytical service providers, and petrochemical companies engaged in source rock analysis, oil-oil correlation, and biodegradation studies to understand the maturity and origin of organic matter.

Application

• Geochemical Biomarker Analysis: Used as a high-purity reference standard for the identification and quantification of hopanoids in crude oils, source rocks, and sediments.
• Petroleum Exploration & Correlation: Serves as a key diagnostic parameter in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for oil-source rock correlation and assessing thermal maturity.
• Environmental Forensics: Employed in tracing the source and weathering processes of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated soil and water samples.
• Organic Geochemistry Research: Essential for academic and industrial research into the diagenesis and catagenesis of organic matter in geological formations.
• Analytical Method Development: Used to calibrate and validate analytical instruments (GC-MS, LC-MS) for the precise measurement of complex hydrocarbon mixtures.
• Biomarker Kit Component: Can be supplied as part of a custom mixture or kit of biomarker standards for comprehensive laboratory analysis.
