Flame Ionization Detector (FID)
FID Jet Identification and Selection
Before ordering parts for FID maintenance, determine which type of FID is installed
on your GC. The FID is available in two versions:
• Dedicated, Capillary Optimized: for capillary columns only
• Adaptable: for packed or capillary columns
To determine the type of FID installed on your GC, open the oven door and examine the fitting
at the base of the detector. Compare to the following diagram.
Hint: Adaptable jets are longer than dedicated capillary jets.
