A method for the determination of a very low concentration component in a test gas which is conveyed, for the purpose of enriching the component, in a feedline via a sample collector whose enriched amount of sample is delivered to a detecting sensor, should provide a measurement signal even during the sample collection and, in the case of a multicomponent test gas, also make it possible to detect the individual components and to check a component-specific cross-sensitivity of the detecting sensor. For this purpose, the following method steps are provided: a) the test gas is first passed via the detecting sensor (3) and then via the sample collector (7) designed to separate a plurality of components in a plurality of stages, b) after the test gas feed has been interrupted, each individual stage (4, 5, 6) separately delivers the component it has separated to the detecting sensor (3). …<IMAGE>… |
