Sulfur Chemiluminescence Detector (SCD)
The Agilent 8355 SCD is a major advance in sulfur chemiluminescence detection, with improved technology that is more reliable and easier to use. It is highly sensitive and specific with a simplified burner design.
A dual-plasma burner achieves high temperature combustion of sulfur-containing compounds to form sulfur monoxide (SO). A photomultiplier tube detects the light produced by the chemiluminescent reaction of SO with ozone.
Sulfur-specific detection for gas chromatography (GC)
Fully integrated or standalone configurations available
Picogram-level detection limits
No hydrocarbon quenching
Linear, equimolar response to sulfur compounds
Compatible with many ASTM methods
Tandem SCD and FID operation
~40% reduction in burner components
Fewer potential leak points
Replacement of inner ceramic tubes takes only about 10 minutes
