    The flame ionization detector (FID) is the most commonly used gas chromatography detector. It detects compounds with carbon-hydrogen bonds by ionizing the compounds in a hydrogen-air flame and measuring the resulting ions with a collector plate. The FID requires hydrogen and air fuel gases at a specific ratio, as well as a high biasing voltage, to function properly. It can detect compounds at both parts per billion and percent concentration levels with excellent stability and longevity, though it destructively destroys the analyzed compounds.

    FID

    Flame Ionization Detector

    Introduction
    The most utilized detector Detects C-H Bonds

    Requirements
    Needs Hydrogen ( H2 ) and Air as fuel gases in a ratio of 1:10 Requires a High ( Biasing ) Voltage (160-170 VDC) for baseline

    Overview
    Detects PPB to percent levels Excellent stability and longevity Destructive detector

    Flow Control
    Hydrogen pressure regulated through a H2 Restrictor for a flow of 30-50 mL/min Air pressure regulated through an Air Restrictor for a flow of 300-500 mL/min Carrier Gas may also be hydrogen in small quantities - It can not skew the H2/Air Ratio

    Detector Connections
    Machined metal adapters Wide Bore Capillary with or without Make-up Gas Narrow Bore Capillary ( 0.1 0.32 mm ID ) adapters need Make-up Gas

    Ignition Process
    Automated
    Hydrogen Gas last
