New horizons in sequential injection kinetic analysis

The need to measure several quantities rapidly in the same sample has prompted the development of automated methods of analysis that in both the continuous and discontinuous modes offer the possibility of simultaneous determinations. The application of pH gradients and differential kinetic determinations dominate the simultaneous determination of two or more closely related species in mixtures without prior separation. Various options enable use of kinetic-based measurements for the simultaneous determination of different analytes in flow systems. Some possible general reactions are given and discussed. The scope of sequential injection kinetic analysis is illustrated with examples.
