A relatively simple, sensitive, selective, automatic fluorimetric method for the simultaneous determination of chromium(III) and chromium(VI) by flow injection analysis (FIA) was developed. The method is based on the selective oxidation of the non-fluorescing reagent 2-(a-pyridyl)thioquinaldinamide (PTQA), which with Cr yields an intensely fluorescent product (lex = 360 nm; lem = 500 nm).
