Flame Ionization Detector (FID) for GC
Flame Ionization Detector
The auto-ranging FID used on Agilent Intuvo 9000, 8890, 8850, 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
- Minimum detectable level for tridecane is less than 1.2 pg C/s for the 8890 and 8850 GCs, 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, 8890, and 8850 GCs accommodate peaks as narrow as 5 msec at half height
- Flameout detection and automatic re-ignition
- The FID for the 8890, 8850, 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 and 375 °C for the 8850 GC)
- Can be mounted as a third detector on the left side of the 8890 GC
