What Does SID Stand For?
SID stands for Surface Ionization Detector
The Surface Ionization Detector (SID) is an analytical device used in various fields, including chemistry and environmental science, to detect and quantify volatile compounds. It operates by measuring the ions produced from the surface ionization of a sample when it is heated in the presence of a suitable ionizing surface. This method provides high sensitivity and selectivity, making SID an essential tool for applications such as trace gas analysis and monitoring of atmospheric pollutants.
