Abstract

A rapid flow-through, highly sensitive microfluidic photoionization detector (PID) which is micro-fabricated directly onto a substrate, such as a conductive silicon wafer, is provided. The microfluidic PID has an ionization chamber volume of less than 9 [mu]L. The microfluidic PID may have a flow through design with a microfluidic channel defines a serpentine pattern on the substrate. The flow through design of the microfluidic PID results in negligible dead volume, thus allowing a shortened response time over existing commercially available designs. Such microfluidic PIDs are particularly useful with gas chromatography (GC), including microGC and multidimensional microGC systems. Methods for calibrating PIDs are also provided.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 157,238, filed May 5, 2015. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference. [0003] government rights [0004] This invention was made with government support under IIP-1342917 awarded by the National Science Foundation and 83564401 awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency. The government has certain rights in this invention. technical field [0005] The invention relates to a high-sensitivity microfluidic photoionization detector, which can be used for target analyte detection and analysis together with gas chromatography. Background technique [0006] Gas chromatography (GC) is widely used for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as other analyte compounds. When used for analysis, GC systems also typically include an analyte detector. A flame ionization detector (FID) is a va...
