What is a flame ionizer detector

Accepted Answer

A flame ionization detector (FID) is a type of detector used in gas chromatography (GC). It is used to detect organic compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen. The FID works by burning the sample in a hydrogen-rich flame, and then measuring the ions that are produced. The number of ions produced is proportional to the amount of organic compound in the sample. FIDs are commonly used in environmental monitoring, food analysis, and forensic science.
