The tangential-flow torch was evaluated as part of an atomic emission microwave plasma detector for gas chromatography. Emission intensities for the elements carbon, sulfur, and bromine in a variety of organic molecules were studied. Calibration plots showed good linearity, indicating that the chemical matrix has little effect on the relative degree of atomization.
