    Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2008 May 23; 1192(1):194-7. PubMed ID: 18423653.
    Abstract:
    A new analytical method was proposed for the detection of volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons (VCHCs) including dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, chloroform, tetrachloromethane, perfluoromethane and bromoform after gas chromatographic (GC) separation. Atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) was miniaturized and used as a GC detector by using chemiluminescence (CL) emission from the reaction of DBD-split VCHCs with luminol solution. The miniaturized DBD-CL detector possessed the advantages of simple construction, very low power consumption, and high sensitivity to many volatile halocarbons, especially VCHCs. The parameters of the detector were optimized by using dichloromethane as a typical analyte. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) down to sub-nmol can be achieved.
