Abstract
An ionization gauge has been modified to serve as a detector for gas chromatography. A small fraction of the effluent gas from the column is diverted into the gauge through an adjustable leak. The gauge is operated under conditions such that ionization of the eluted compound only occurs, and not of the helium carrier. The ion current is amplified and displayed on a pen recorder. The gauge combines very high sensitivity and rapid response with almost complete independence of changes in flow rate, pressure, or temperature.Keywords
