Abstract

: Microplasma is a useful detector for analyzing the effluent of gas chromato-graphy due to its remarkable capacity for portability, high sensitivity, and excellent multielement selectivity. Compared to classical detectors, microplasma detectors have the advantages of small size, low cost, and low energy consumption in design and operation. We aim to provide an overview of microplasma detectors and show their applications in various chemical analyses. The operational characteristics and analytical performance of different microplasma detectors, such as capacitively coupled microplasma, glow discharge microplasma, and microhollow-cathode microplasma, are presented in detail to reveal the current status of microplasma detectors for gas chromatography. In addition, several approaches for the design of microplasma are discussed and the future trends in the development of microplasma detectors are highlighted at the end of this review. Various applications of microplasma detectors for gas chromatography systems are also presented in this review.
