Abstract
A dielectric barrier discharge ionization detector (BID) capable of achieving a high level of signal-to-noise ratio in a stable manner is provided. In a BID having a high-voltage electrode, upstream-side ground electrode and downstream-side ground electrode circumferentially formed on the outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical dielectric tube, a heater for heating the cylindrical dielectric tube or tube-line tip member attached to the upper end of the same tube is provided. Increasing the temperature of the cylindrical dielectric tube by this heater improves the stability of the electric discharge, whereby the amount of noise is reduced and a high level of signal-to-noise is achieved.
