Flame Ionization Detector (FID) for GC
The flame ionization detector (FID) is the most widely used detector for gas chromatography because of its reliability, versatility, and ease of use. It responds to virtually any organic compound while generating little or no signal for common carrier gases.
The auto-ranging FID used on Agilent Intuvo 9000, 8890, 8860, and 7890 GC systems offers the ability to detect and quantitate from percent levels to parts per billion (ppb) in a single injection. Rapid data acquisition rates easily accommodate fast GC.

Product Details
Features
- Minimum detectable level for tridecane is less than 1.2 pg C/s for the 8890 GC, less than 1.4 pg C/s for the Intuvo 9000 and 7890B GCs, and less than 3 pg C/s for the 8860 GC
- Linear dynamic range greater than 10^7 (± 10%)
- Full-range digital data path enables peaks to be quantified over the entire 10^7 concentration range in a single run
- Data acquisition rates up to 1,000 Hz on the Intuvo 9000 and 8890 GCs accommodate peaks as narrow as 5 msec at half height
- Flameout detection and automatic re-ignition
- The FID for the 8890 and 7890B GCs is available in versions optimized for capillary columns or adaptable for either capillary or packed columns
- 450 °C maximum operating temperature (425 °C for the 8860 GC)
- Can be mounted as a third detector on the left side of the 8890 GC
