Description

17Beta(H), 21Beta(H)-30-Norhopane is a specific pentacyclic triterpenoid biomarker belonging to the hopane series. This compound is of significant value in geochemical and environmental analysis as a stable molecular fossil. It is primarily required by research laboratories and industrial analytical service providers in the petroleum geochemistry and environmental forensics sectors for source identification and maturity assessments.

Application

• Biomarker Analysis in Petroleum Geochemistry: Used as a reference standard for identifying and quantifying hopanoids in crude oils and source rocks to assess thermal maturity and depositional environment.
• Environmental Forensics and Contamination Studies: Serves as a diagnostic tracer to identify the source and fate of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil and water samples.
• Organic Geochemistry Research: Essential for academic and industrial research into diagenetic pathways and the transformation of biological precursors into geological biomarkers.
• Sedimentology and Paleoenvironment Reconstruction: Applied in studies to understand past ecological conditions and sedimentary processes.
• Quality Control/Assurance for Analytical Laboratories: Used as a high-purity calibration standard for Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and other analytical techniques.
