Photoionization detector — A photoionization detector or PID is a type of gas detector. Typical photoionization detectors measure volatile organic compounds and other gases in concentrations from 1 parts per billion to 10 000 parts per million (ppm). The photoionizaton… … Wikipedia
Gas detector — A gas detector is a device which detects the presence of various gases within an area, usually as part of a system to warn about gases which might be harmful to humans or animals. Gas detectors can be used to detect combustible, toxic, and oxygen … Wikipedia
Desorption atmospheric pressure photoionization — schematic Desorption atmospheric pressure photoionization (DAPPI) is an atmospheric pressure ionization technique for mass spectrometry. DAPPI enables direct analysis of solid samples without pretreatment and analysis of samples deposited on… … Wikipedia
