Flow injection analysis (FIA) is an analytical chemical continuous-flow (CF) method which in contrast to traditional CF-procedures does not rely on complete physical mixing (homogenisation) of the sample and the reagent(s) or on attaining chemical equilibria of the chemical reactions involved. Exploiting controllable dispersion of the injected sample within the reagent-containing carrier stream...

The ultimate aim of any instrumentation must be 'sample in-result out in 1-2 min.'. This specification has been the reason for the phenomenal success of flame analysis, it is the reason for the now remarkable success of the near infra-red analysis for protein, fat etc. and for the continuing research after more than 60 years into all methods of electrode measurements. Yet Flow-Injection Analysi...

The development of many biochemical assays is dependent upon the specific interaction of an antigen with its antibody. This interaction is usually monitored using secondary labels with the most popular immunoassays employing fluorescent or radioactive tracers for detection of a single binding event. We are developing a novel flow injection analysis (FIA) system which contains an immunospecific ...

The 17 International Conference on Flow Injection Analysis was held in Krakow, Poland, from 3 to 8 July, 2011. The conference was organized under the auspices of the Committee of Analytical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Japanese Association for Flow Injection Analysis (JAFIA). This was the first time that Poland had hosted this conference, which has been held regularly sin...

A fully automated flow-injection immunoassay based on sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is described for the model system: protein G-sepharose, rabbit IgG and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labelled protein A. After injecting rabbit IgG and HRP-labelled protein A into a cartridge containing protein G-sepharose sequentially, a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and the redox indicator, ...

The manual handling of solutions (known as “beaker chemistry”) remains the Achilles Heel of modern analytical instrumentation. It is currently being replaced by flow injection analysis (FIA), which is computer compatible and allows automated handling of sample and reagent solutions with a strict control of reaction conditions. The flow injection analysis (FIA) was preceded by the success of seg...

a flow injection system is reported for the determination of fluoride based on its effects on the fluorescence intensity of al-morin complex at ph 3.0 in ethanol-warn mixture. the effect of important parameters such as excitation and emission wavelengths, ph, reagents concenkations, flow rate of the carrier stream, sample injection volume, time of measurepent and interferences are reported. cat...

--Due to the overall increase in computer performance software-implemented fault injection (SWIFI) techniques are becoming increasingly attractive. Not only the easyness of use but also the quality of the injected faults contribute to the successful application of SWIFI based tools in the field. SWIFLER is a tool for UNIX systems for sofware-implemented injection of control flow errors. Its pur...

(6) Long-term unattended operation. (7) Periodic recalibration. (8) Easy on-site maintenance. Water quality Water quality is a subject of increasing public interest and awareness. With regard to chemical parameters in particular it is also an area that has been the subject of increasingly stringent national and international legislation based on EC directives, for example, for the discharge of ...
