What Does FPD Stand For?
FPD stands for Flame Photometric Detector Gas Chromatography
FPD, or Flame Photometric Detector Gas Chromatography, is a sensitive analytical technique used in chromatography to detect specific compounds, primarily phosphorus and sulfur-containing substances, in complex mixtures. The FPD utilizes a flame to ionize the sample components, emitting light at characteristic wavelengths, which allows for selective detection and quantification of targeted analytes. This method is particularly valuable in environmental monitoring, petrochemical analysis, and quality control in various industries due to its high sensitivity and specificity.
