A general approach using principal component analysis was applied to amperometric data obtained from flow injection analysis (FIA) to select conducting electroactive polymers (CEPs) and applied potential waveforms for discrimination of potassium and methylamine. The results were compared with the selection from the application of the PCA approach for cyclic voltammetry data in our previous research. Good agreement between the two methods of selection was found, which indicates that within the general qualitative limits of the approach, PCA can be applied for selection of chemical and electrochemical parameters for FIA detection/discrimination using CEP sensor arrays detector for a range of analytes. |
