Abstract
Detectors in gas chromatography (GC) are unique in all analytical science. The detector performs several difficult functions that make sensitive and selective analysis possible. In this installment, we will explore the challenges involved in detecting the effluent from a capillary gas chromatographic column, and summarize the many detector options. We will then consider basic ideas and tasks that allow detectors to function properly. Finally, we will examine some specific troubleshooting and preventative maintenance tips for common detectors. We will see that, with some simple preventative thinking and action, detectors in gas chromatography can provide excellent sensitivity and selectivity for years of use.
