Hello,
I have had a fair amount of success with posted questions in this forum, so here is another one. I am interested in knowing more about whether the flame ionization detector I have equipped on my HP/Agilent 6890 GC is the correct detector…
When I need information about detectors I use the following books:
Raymond P. W. Scott "Chromatographic Detectors - Design, Function, and Operation", Chromatographic Science Series Volume 73, Marcel Dekker, New York (1996). ISBN 0-8247-9779-5.

Hi Guys,
I have a GC that does not seperate natural gas(maily C1 and C2 with small traces of C3+), it comes as almost one peak, and for condensate (C3+) it seperates C6+, and does not seperate C3÷C5,
I Have,
1: Readjusted the split ratio Many Many…
I have an Agilent 7890A with a split/splitless injector and FID. The FID has been experiencing a falling baseline signal that triggers the instrument to relight the flame unless I lower the lit offset value. As it gets worse, I have to set the lit offset…
HP 5890 II not responding. After power-up, initiates "Passed Self Test" routine but stalls at that point. The oven works, and FID is ignited but the light by "Not Ready" is lit up. ChemStation program states: "GC Not Found. Check that GC is Correctly…
Hi, I am wondering if the FID detector requires nitrogen make up flow while in standby mode or is it sufficient to have the FID idle at a temperature above 100 to protect it in downtime.
Thanks.
Additionally, the detector will not light regardless of whether the column is installed or not. I can hear an ignition happening but the detector fails to stay lit every time.
Hi, Have this issue with an Agilent 6850 GC: The system performs normally during the pre-run: the oven temperature, front inlet total flow/inlet pressure and signal 1 valve values are all normal/stable. When we switch to the test method and start sample…
