What Does PDECD Stand For?

PDECD stands for Pulsed Discharge Electron Capture Detector

PDECD, or Pulsed Discharge Electron Capture Detector, is an analytical instrument used in gas chromatography for the sensitive detection of electronegative compounds, such as halogens and other reactive species. It operates by generating electrons through a pulsed discharge in a gas-filled chamber, allowing for enhanced signal detection of target analytes as they pass through the detector. PDECD is valued for its high sensitivity and selectivity, making it an essential tool in environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and chemical analysis.
