title: Thermal conductivity effect of carrier gases on flame-ionization detector sensitivity.
abstract: Data for six carrier gases of different thermal conductivities show a linear correlation between the logarithm of thermal conductivity and detector response. Carbon dioxide with a lower thermal conductivity than helium gives a ninefold increase in detector response.
