Detectors Thermal Conductivity Detector (GC-8AIT, GC-8APT) Highly stable and sensitive filaments The rhenium-tungsten filaments, each of which has a resistance of 100Ω, ensure the highest sensitivity and stability. Carrier gas Constant current system The bridge current is kept constant even when the detector temperature is changed.

Electron Capture Detector (GC-8AIE) Linear ECD with high sensitivity and wide dynamic range Electrode The constant-current ECD maintains a constant current flow in the detector. It offers excellent performance of a linear dynamic Ni source range of 10,000 and 0.2 pg (Υ-BHC) minimum limit of detection, and greatly restricts peak abnormalities such as negative peaks.
