The flame ionization detector (FID) is the most widely used detector in gas chromatography (GC). Most hydrocarbons can be detected with this detector, except for formaldehyde and formic acid. It is characterized by a wide range of linearity.
The operation of the FID is based on the detection of ions formed during the combustion of organic compounds in a hydrogen flame. The amount of generated ions is proportional to the concentration of organic compounds in the stream of carrier gas.
It is the basic equipment in any analytical laboratory. The main advantages of this detector are: failure-free, low cost of operation, stability over time.
