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 ...
The electron emitter typically consists of a metal foil holding 10 millicuries (370 MBq) of the radionuclide 63 Ni. Usually, nitrogen is used as makeup gas, because it exhibits a low excitation energy, so it is easy to remove an electron from a nitrogen molecule. The electrons emitted from the electron emitter collide with the molecules of the ...
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 ...
The mass spectrometry process normally requires a very pure sample while gas chromatography using a traditional detector (e.g. Flame ionization detector) cannot differentiate between multiple molecules that happen to take the same amount of time to travel through the column (i.e. have the same retention time), which results in two or more ...
A chromatography detector is a device that detects and quantifies separated compounds as they elute from the chromatographic column.These detectors are integral to various chromatographic techniques, such as gas chromatography, [1] liquid chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography, [2] and supercritical fluid chromatography [3] among others.
The nitrogen–phosphorus detector (NPD) is also known as thermionic specific detector (TSD) is a detector commonly used with gas chromatography, in which thermal energy is used to ionize an analyte. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is a type of flame thermionic detector (FTD), the other being the alkali flame-ionization detector (AFID also known as AFD).
Many gas chromatograph detectors are ion detectors with varying methods of ionizing the components eluting from the gas chromatograph's column. [1] [2] An ion detector is analogous to a capacitor or vacuum tube. It can be envisioned as two metal grids separated by air with inverse charges placed on them.
