Based on the chromatogram of the blank hexane, it shows that there are ghost or unknown peaks in that chromatogram even though most of the parts of the GC have been changed to new prior analyzing the blank hexane.

Plus, the running of another blank hexane showed only one peak which can be confirmed as the hexane peak.

Is it possible the first blank hexane is contaminated?

Another question is:

Is it possible if the retention time of different concentrations FAME standard are different in big margins as compared with the retention time in the Certificate of Analysis ( COA- less than 20 minutes, all peaks were observed, prepared FAME Standard- more than 70 minutes).

If it is possible, how can we identify which compound is which because of the FAME standard retention time is very different compared with the COA?
