Electron capture detector developed by James Lovelock in the Science Museum, London Electron capture detector, Science History Institute. The electron capture detector is used for detecting electron-absorbing components (high electronegativity) such as halogenated compounds in the output stream of a gas chromatograph.
The design of the flame ionization detector varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the principles are the same. Most commonly, the FID is attached to a gas chromatography system. The eluent exits the gas chromatography column (A) and enters the FID detector’s oven (B). The oven is needed to make sure that as soon as the eluent exits ...
Gas chromatography (GC) is a common type of chromatography used in analytical chemistry for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. Typical uses of GC include testing the purity of a particular substance, or separating the different components of a mixture. [ 1 ]
The thermal conductivity detector (TCD), also known as a katharometer, is a bulk property detector and a chemical specific detector commonly used in gas chromatography. [1] This detector senses changes in the thermal conductivity of the column eluent and compares it to a reference flow of carrier gas. Since most compounds have a thermal ...
Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography, or GC×GC, is a multidimensional gas chromatography technique that was originally described in 1984 by J. Calvin Giddings [1] and first successfully implemented in 1991 by John Phillips and his student Zaiyou Liu. [2] GC×GC utilizes two different columns with two different stationary phases. In ...
If column dimensions Length×diameter×film are divided by 2 and gas velocity is doubled by using H2 in place of Helium, the hold times must be divided by 4 and the ramps must be multiplied by 4 to keep the same index and the same retention temperature for the same compound analyzed. Method translation rules are incorporated in some ...
Agilent Technologies, Inc. is an American global company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, that provides instruments, software, services, and consumables for laboratories. Agilent was established in 1999 as a spin-off from Hewlett-Packard. The resulting IPO of Agilent stock was the largest in the history of Silicon Valley at the time.
Gas chromatography–vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy (GC-VUV) is a universal detection technique for gas chromatography. [1] VUV detection provides both qualitative and quantitative spectral information for most gas phase compounds. GC-VUV spectral data is three-dimensional (time, absorbance, wavelength) and specific to chemical structure.
