THE PERFORMANCE OF A COMMERCIAL HIGH-TEMPERATURE IONIZATION CHAMBER FOR RADIOISOTOPE ANALYSIS OF GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY VAPORS

Journal Article · · J. Chromatog.
A system is described for the simultaneous analysis of the effluent of a gas chromatograph column for thermoconductivity and radioactivity. A gas chromatograph was constructed for inclusion of a 275 ml high temperature ionization chamber. The effluent from the thermoconductivity cell passes directly into the ionization chamber providing coincident peaks on two pen recorder. Argon is used as a purge gas for the system. The sensitivity of the system was such that 400 disintegrations per minute of carbon-14 could be detected. Under ideal conditions 206 dpm could be distinguished from background noise. (auth)
