The paper below from the Institut fur Chemie in Germany compares GC- PID, FID and ECD for non urban samples that were concentrated on tenax. The PID (Model PI52) with an HNU 11.7 eV lamp compares in sensitivity with the ECD for low MW chloroalkanes. and with the FID for a number of hydrocarbons. The HNU PID with a 10.2 eV lamp is more sensitive than the FID or the PID with an 11.7 eV lamp.

Far UV Ionization (Photoionization) and Absorbance Detectors for Capillary GC #gas chromatograpgy,#capillary GC, #photoionization, #Far UV Absorbance, #PID, #FUV

This is a chapter on photoionization and far UV absorbance detectors that I wrote about 20 years ago. It has been posted on our website and is a popular download:



It was published in 1992 by Wiley, is entitled " Detectors for Capillary GC" and was edited by H. Hill & D. McGinn.

GC_Detection_and_Identification_of_Hydrocarbons_by_Coupling_a_PID_and_FID

This is a paper that I wrote more than 30 years ago on the coupling of a GC PID/FID for the identification of hydrocarbons in complex mixtures. This remains one of the popular downloads on our website http://www.hnu.com . I remember calling this technique a “poor man’s mass spec” but the referee made me remove it. I still believe it though.
