Abstract:
A presentation will be made to give a general overview of the OI Analytical Pulsed Flame Photometric Detector. The PFPD excels at selective detection of sulfur and phosphorus compounds, and can be configured to detect 26 other elements. It is similar to the Flame Photometric Detector (FPD) but operates in the pulsed-flame rather than continuous-flame mode which increases signal to noise and offers significant advantages over the FPD including better selectivity and detectivity. These advantages will be discussed along with instrument overview, theory, tools for selectivity, and examples of applications.
