Type of Gas Chromatography Detectors

GC detectors can find the identity and concentration of analytes. Selective, non-selective and specific are the nature of GC detectors. Non-selective detectors react to all components present in a carrier gas; selective detectors have a response to a variety of compounds with the same chemical characteristics and specific detectors are the response to a specific compound. Flame ionization detector (FID) and thermal conductivity detector (TCD) are the most widely used detectors, both sensitive to a wide range of components, FID is highly sensitive and robust than TCD. FID does not react to inorganic gases and TCD is a response. to inorganic gases such as N2, CO, NH3, CO2, CS2, etc.

There are a large number of detectors used for gas chromatography, check it out.

  • Flame ionization detector: (FID)
  • Thermal conductivity detector: (TCD)
  • Nitrogen and phosphorus detector: (NPD)
  • Photoionization detector: (PID)
  • Electron Capture Detector: (ECD)
  • Photometric Flame Detector: (FPD)
  • Electrolytic Conductivity Detector: (ECD)
  • Mass spectrometer: (MS)

Hello to all readers, my name is Jose Hullgren, it is a pleasure to present you this website of my authorship, I am currently working as a laboratory analyst and for the last 10 years I have been working in the pharmaceutical industry. The main idea of this page is to provide relevant information in the field of the pharmaceutical industry above all. We also cover different areas of chemistry and sciences in general that we find interesting. Perfil Linkedin
