What Does PID Stand For?
PID stands for Photoionization Detector Gas Chromatography
PID, or Photoionization Detector Gas Chromatography, is an analytical technique used for the detection and quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in various samples. The method combines gas chromatography's ability to separate complex mixtures with a photoionization detector that responds to specific ionization energies, allowing for sensitive and selective analysis of target compounds. PID-GC is commonly employed in environmental monitoring, industrial hygiene, and chemical analysis due to its rapid response time and ability to identify low concentrations of pollutants.
