Hi,
a number of years ago, during the early stages of high temperature
pyrolysis developments at Finnigan I ran NBS30 at the 1-5-milligram
level and got astonishing results. I do not recall the exact numbers but
I had two distinct cluster values. My conclusion at the time was that
the material was not homogeneous at the single grain level and I
discontinued using it for the purpose. Has anyone experienced something
similar?
