Abstract

A laser-light-scattering detector that is sensitive to alcohols has been developed for gas chromatography. The detector consists of a miniature concentric nebulizer that uses a cold atomization gas and an Ar + laser. Calibration curves for the alcohols exhibit characteristic sigmoidal shapes. Signal-to-noise ratios were optimized by examining the photomultiplier tube temperature, collection wavelength and detection scheme ( i.e., photon counting vs. direct current detection). Limits of detection for five test alcohols were in the 2–8 μg/s range.
