    The nitrogen–phosphorus detector is a type of detector used with gas chromatography that uses thermal energy to ionize analytes. It is a type of flame thermionic detector where a rubidium or cesium bead ignites hydrogen to form a cold plasma, exciting the alkali metal and ejecting electrons detected as a current. When nitrogen or phosphorus analytes exit the column, they cause a reduction in the metal bead's work function, increasing the current with a sensitivity 104 times greater for nitrogen and phosphorus than carbon. The alkali metal bead must be regularly replaced as it is consumed over time.

    The nitrogenphosphorus detector (NPD) or thermionic specific detector (TSD) is a type of

    detector commonly used with gas chromatography, in which thermal energy is used
    toionize an analyte. It is a type of flame thermionic detector (FTD), the other being the alkali flameionization detector (AFID). With this method, nitrogen and phosphorus can be selectively detected
    with a sensitivity that is 104 times greater than that for carbon. NP-Mode: A concentration
    of hydrogen gas is used such that it is just below the minimum required for ignition.
    A rubidium or cesium bead, which is mounted over the nozzle, ignites the hydrogen (by acting
    catalytically), and forms a cold plasma. Excitation of the alkali metal results in ejection of electrons,
    which in turn are detected as a current flow between an anode and cathode in the chamber. As
    nitrogen or phosphorus analytes exit the column, they cause a reduction in the work function of the
    metal bead, resulting in an increase in current. Since the alkali metal bead is consumed over time, it
    must be replaced regularly .
