What Does FTD Stand For?

FTD stands for Flame Thermionic Detector Gas Chromatography

FTD, or Flame Thermionic Detector Gas Chromatography, is an analytical technique that utilizes a flame-thermionic detector to identify and quantify organic compounds in gaseous samples. This method enhances sensitivity and selectivity by leveraging the thermionic emission of electrons from heated alkali metals in the presence of combustion, making it particularly effective for detecting trace levels of specific compounds. FTD is widely used in environmental monitoring, petrochemical analysis, and quality control in various industrial applications.
