Abstract In this chapter you find one of a series of five master-presentations by Harold McNair, one of the icons of separation science. He is currently emeritus professor at the Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. He has published numerous educational and scientific books and scientific publications. This session is called 'Detectors in GC'. The full series is intended for those persons with little to no background in chromatography. It assumes two years of college chemistry-general and organic. It should prove useful to technicians, students, graduate students, Phds and even professors planning to work with GC.
KeywordsTopics to be discussed in the five sessions are: definitions of GC, separation principle, advantages and limitations of GC, basic instrumental components of a GC and more detailed information on capillary columns and three detectors: FID,TCD and ECD, quantitative and qualitative analysis.
