Using the PFPD for other elements apart from S and P

The PFPD is capable of selectively detecting other elements apart from sulphur and phosphorus. In fact it’s possible to detect up to 28 other elements with the correct photomultiplier and optical filter combination.

Other key applications include:

• Carbon
• Nitrogen
• Arsenic
• Tin
• Selenium

Below is a link to an excerpt from an OI Analytical presentation showing examples of setting up the PFPD for various alternative elements.
