GC Detectors can find identity and concentration of analytes. Selective, non-selective and specific are the nature of GC detectors. The non-selective detectors are responding to all components present in a carrier gas, selective 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 commonly used detectors both are sensitive to a large range of components, FID is highly sensitive and robust than the TCD.FID no response to inorganic gases and TCD are a response to inorganic gases such as N2, CO, NH3, CO2, CS2, etc.
There are numbers of detectors are used for gas chromatography let’s check it.
- Flame ionization detector: (FID)
- Thermal conductivity detector: (TCD)
- Nitrogen phosphorous detector: (NPD)
- Photo ionization detector: (PID)
- Electron capture detector: (ECD)
- Flame photometric detector: (FPD)
- Electrolytic conductivity detector: (ECD)
- Mass spectrometer: (MS)
