Preferred Label : flame ionization detector;
Detailed label : flame ionization detector in gas chromatography;
IUPAC definition : The gases emerging from the column are fed into a hydrogen flame across which an electrical
potential is placed. Certain molecules ionize easily in the flame and the current
produced is proportional to the instantaneous flow rate of the eluted component. The
detector is relatively insensitive to inorganic molecules and is most used for organic
compounds. Concentrations below 1 ppmv are easily detected. The linear dynamic range
is between 10E3 and 10E5.;
