The Auger electrons can be applied in electron capture detectors for gas chromatography.
2.
It is also used in Electron capture detector in gas chromatography for the detection mainly of halogens.
3.
There are two ways PFTs are then detected; using an electron capture detector or negative ion mass spectrometry.
4.
In cases where very low limits of detection are needed, halogenated species are frequently analyzed using an electron capture detector coupled to a gas chromatograph.
5.
The thermal conductivity detector, described in 1954 by N . H . Ray, was the foundation for several other methods : the flame ionization detector was described by J . Harley, W . Nel, and V . Pretorius in 1958, and James Lovelock introduced the electron capture detector that year as well.
