Preferred Label : flame photometric detector;
Detailed label : flame photometric detector in gas chromatography;
IUPAC definition : The eluent from the column is fed into a hydrogen-rich flame and produces light emission.
Optical filters are used to select the wavelength range of the emission which is characteristic
of specific atoms (usually sulfur or phosphorus). The detector is very specific, depending
on the choice of optical filters. It can detect the S- and P-containing compounds
down to 10E-3 ppmv, but the detector is non-linear.;
