A sensitive flame ionization detector was developed for capillary column gas chromatography. The detector used no make-up gas and lower flow-rates of hydrogen and air to suppress detector noise and to achieve maximum response. The detector was responsive down to the 10 SUP-SUP 1 SUP 3 g level for C SUB 2-C SUB 1 SUB 1 hydrocarbons. Atmospheric hydrocarbons could be determined at parts per billion or parts per trillion levels by using gas chromatography with the detector via cryogenic concentration of a small volume of air sample.(Pascal Data Base). 2, record 3, English, - flame%20ionization

The neutron method of measuring soil water content uses the principle of neutron thermalization. When both hydrogen and oxygen are considered, water has a marked effect on slowing or thermalizing neutrons. Thermal neutron density is easily measured with a detector, if the capture cross-section remains constant then the thermal neutron density may be calibrated against water concentration on a volume basis. 2, record 4, English, - neutronic%20method

In this form of transport detector for h. p. l. c. [high-performance liquid chromatography], the eluate is deposited upon a fine stainless steel wire that has been cleaned by being heated at 850°C. The volatile solvent is evaporated and the solute oxidized at 700-800°C in air to a mixture of carbon dioxide and water. The oxidation products are mixed with hydrogen and passed over a nickel catalyst at 330°C to give methane which is burnt in a flame ionization detector to give an electrical signal that can be amplified and recorded. The detector gives a linear response over a wide concentration range [...] The sensitivity has been improved and the noise level reduced by using either a ceramic(kaolin) or ceramic-metal(kaolin and copper) coating to the wire. 1, record 6, English, - wire%20transport%20detector

Photoionization detector... consists of a chamber into which gases suitable for the discharge such as helium, argon, nitrogen, or hydrogen are introduced through [a] tube which serves as the cathode for the discharge. The ultraviolet radiation or glow discharge in the hollow cathode, maintained by a small current between the cathode and discharge anode, is sufficiently energetic to ionize components in the carrier gas effluent entering through the tube, the collecting electrode(anode) for the ions liberated within the chamber enclosed by the second cathode. 5, record 7, English, - photoionization%20detector

Une version commerciale de ce détecteur est apparue récemment sur le marché, il est composé d'une lampe UV [détecteur à photoionisation] scellée qui émet un rayonnement à 121,6nm (10,2 eV) à travers une fenêtre en fluorure de magnésium. Si le soluté passant dans ce détecteur a un potentiel d'ionisation inférieur à 10,2eV, il s'ionise en absorbant un photon. Les ions issus de cette photoionisation sont collectés en appliquant un potentiel positif sur une des électrodes. Le courant qui en résulte est amplifié par un électromètre identique à celui utilisé avec un détecteur à ionisation de flamme. 1, record 7, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20%C3%A0%20photoionisation

Kaye adapted a Beckman far-ultraviolet DK-2 spectrophotometer as a gas chromatographic effluent detector to record the spectra of eluted, absorbing materials. Using heated flow-through cells... coupled directly to the thermal conductivity cell' s outlet, he found that absorptivities of most organic vapors were sufficiently large to permit quantitative analysis, and in some instances identification, where specific absorption patterns could be attributed directly to a functional group in certain molecular species. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the far-ultraviolet detector for many compounds possessing intense absorption bands exceeds that of the normal thermal conductivity detector and, in some cases, the hydrogen flame ionization detector. 1, record 10, English, - ultraviolet%20spectrophotometer%20detector

This increase in electrical conductivity resulted from the release of sodium vapor from the probe. Using a two-stage flame detection system, one flame placed above the other but separated from it by a sodium hydroxide-treated wire mesh screen, hydrogen gas was added to the effluent of the column, and the carrier gas-air-hydrogen mixture was burned in the lower flame detector with its resulting electrical conductivity being the same as that of the usual flame detector. 1, record 11, English, - two%2Dstage%20flame%20detection%20system
