What Does FID Stand For?
FID stands for Flame Ionization Detector
FID, or Flame Ionization Detector, is an analytical instrument commonly used in gas chromatography to measure the concentration of ions produced during the combustion of organic compounds in a hydrogen-air flame. It operates by detecting charged particles generated when a sample is burned, allowing for the quantification of hydrocarbons and other volatile organic compounds. FIDs are known for their sensitivity, reliability, and ability to provide a wide linear response range, making them essential in environmental monitoring, petrochemical analysis, and various scientific research applications.
