PID Overview
The PerkinElmer Photoionization Detector (PID) is designed to allow the effluent
from a chromatographic column to be ionized by ultraviolet light (provided the
ionization potential of the effluent is less than that of the UV source). The current
produced by the ion flow is measured by the detector and is proportional to the
concentration of the ionized material.
