Détecteurs sélectifs. [...] Nous citerons encore les détecteurs électrochimiques permettant d'obtenir des réponses sélectives pour les composés azotés, chlorés ou soufrés, et d'autres, tels que le détecteur à ionisation d'argon ou d'hélium, détectant des traces de gaz permanents, de même que le détecteur à ionisation par haute fréquence. Pour les atomes métalliques, on pourra utiliser le détecteur à plasma excité par micro-ondes. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20%C3%A0%20plasma%20excit%C3%A9%20par%20micro%2Dondes
