Flame Ionization Detection is a process by which a compound is combusted in a hydrogen flame, which is a specific flame ionization gas mixture, resulting in the formation of ions, the proportion of ions present is proportional to the concentration of organic substances, allowing a determination of the amount of organic material present in a sample. This technique is frequently used in gas chromatography. Some applications for use are monitoring of landfills and emissions monitoring in instruments. Flame Ionization Gas Mixtures are mixtures including Hydrogen and another gas. SCI Analytical has precise flame ionization gas mixtures to ensure quality testing and results.
