Gas chromatography.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.This book presents the most common, basic gas sensing technologies and their respective potential against the background of user requirements. Aimed at providing a signpost to end-users with regard to the gas sensing technology that is suitable for different measurement scenarios, it starts with a concise summary of the basic working principles that are commonly used in gas sensing. Based on this, the potential of these technologies with respect to selectivity, sensitivity, stability, and the potential for miniaturization is discussed. In particular, the book focuses on techniques that allow for gathering reliable information about the composition of gaseous samples and includes examples of applications and a discussion as to why a specific technology is used in these situations.Research students and researchers using chemical analysis technologies. Industrial end-users.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Stefan Palzer is an expert in gas sensing technologies and the development of novel solutions for demanding measurement scenarios. His research and development approach is based on quickly deploying laboratory-based solutions in real-world scenarios to test their suitability under realistic operating conditions.Title from PDF title page (viewed on August 1, 2025).
