In [[gas chromatography]] the distributions of ''n''-alkanes and isoprenoids are usually most useful. Of particular significance for correlations are the wax content (C<sub>23+</sub>), the Carbon Preference Index (CPI)<ref name=ch08r3>Bray, E., E., Evans, E., D., 1961, Distribution of n-paraffins as a clue to recognition of source beds; ''Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta'', vol. 22, p. 2–15., 10., 1016/0016-7037(61)90069-2</ref> and the pristane-phytane (Pr/Ph) ratio. The following figures show gas chromatograms of the saturate fractions of several oils, illustrating the differences that can be observed in these compound classes as a result of differences in the source material.
