PFPD - Pulsed Flame Photometric Detector
OI Analytical’s patented 5383 Pulsed Flame Photometric Detector (PFPD) excels at selective, high sensitivity detection of sulphur, phosphorus and other elements.
PFPD Capabilities
- 10-100x increase in signal-to-noise and a 10x selectivity increase over traditional FPDs
- Linear, equimolar response for quick easy calibrations
- Simultaneous mutually selective chromatograms e.g.: S+C, or S+P
- Inherent self-cleaning design eliminates soot formation seen in other sulphur-selective detectors
- Long-term stability and minimal maintenance
