Abstract
GC-CI-MS is shown to be the method of choice for determining the molecular weight of every component in complex alkane mixtures such as those found on insect cuticle. It also provides branch point information. The technique was applied to a number of normal and methyl-branched synthetic alkanes, as well as to the hydrocarbons from the termiteReticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), the cricketGryllus pennsylvanicus Burmeister, and the beetleLasioderma serricorne (Fabricius).
