Alkane Ladder Characterisation for Retention Time Calibration Using GC-MS Low Energy EI:

In Gas Chromatography, retention indexes (RI) are used to convert retention times into system-independent constants. Retention index for a compound is calculated normalising its retention time to the retention time of adjacently eluting n-alkanes.
