What Does NPD Stand For?
NPD stands for Nitrogen Phosphorus Detector
NPD, or Nitrogen Phosphorus Detector, is an analytical instrument used primarily in chromatography to detect and quantify nitrogen and phosphorus-containing compounds in various samples. This sensitive detector operates on the principle of chemiluminescence, allowing for highly selective identification of organic substances that contain these elements. NPD is widely utilized in environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural research to ensure compliance with safety and quality standards. Its ability to provide precise measurements makes it an essential tool in analytical laboratories.
