Gas Chromatography – Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID)

Gas Chromatography – Flame Ionization Detector is a powerful analytical technique designed to separate, detect, and quantify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with high precision and reliability. 

GC-FID works by injecting a vaporized sample into a chromatographic column, where components are separated based on their chemical properties and interactions with the column material. As each compound exits the column, it is burned in a hydrogen-air flame. This combustion generates ions that are detected and measured producing a clear, quantifiable signal proportional to the amount of carbon in the compound.

GC-FID is highly effective for analyzing a wide range of volatile and semi-volatile compounds, including:

• Organic solvents and residual impurities

• Hydrocarbons and petrochemical products

• Flavors, fragrances, and essential oils

• Alcohols, esters, and aldehydes in food and beverages

• Pesticides and environmental pollutants

• Pharmaceutical raw materials and actives

• Biofuels and fermentation byproducts GC-FID (Gas Chromatography – Flame Ionization Detector)                       

  Why choose GC-FID (Gas Chromatography – Flame Ionization Detector)?

  Ideal for a wide range of Applications 

  from petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals to food, fragrance, and environmental testing GC-FID is a trusted solution for VOC and organic compound analysis.

  High Sensitivity for Organic Compounds

  GC-FID is highly sensitive to carbon-containing compounds, making it ideal for detecting even low levels of hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, and solvents.

   Excellent Quantitative Accuracy

  The detector response is directly proportional to the number of carbon atoms—delivering linear, reliable, and repeatable results across a wide dynamic range.
