20080213908FLAME DETECTOR - Improved operating modes of a micro counter-current flame ionization detector (μFID) are demonstrated. By operating the flame inside the end of a capillary gas chromatography (GC) column, the effective cell volume enclosing the flame is considerably reduced and results in significantly lower gas flows being required to produce optimal sensitivity from the stable flame.
