Flame Ionization Detector Capabilities - Application Note

The flame ionization detector (FID) is a widely used detector in gas chromatography. Its linear response to hydrocarbons over many orders of magnitude lends significant analytical capability to numerous routine gas analysis applications. The FID used in AMETEK’s gas purity analyzers is a very sensitive detector that is used to detect traces of hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide in normal air constituents (oxygen, nitrogen, etc.) and inert gases
