Abstract
Publisher Summary Being simple in operation and relatively inexpensive, flow injection analysis (FIA) provides a platform for the use of most analytical techniques and methods and presents a modus operandi that promotes reproducibility, speed, flexibility, and ready automation. This chapter discusses the areas of flow injection and related techniques to provide comprehensive in-depth and up-to-date coverage of all aspects, beginning with the history, theory and principles of flow injection analysis and newer generations of FIA. It has grown in scope, applicability, and utilization. The conception, infancy, and the early years of FIA are described. The technique of flow injections was originally conceived as a concept to automate serial assays. It rapidly revealed itself to entail novel and unique options and increasingly found its use in a multitude of areas as diverse as oceanography; clinical chemistry; agricultural, pharmaceutical, and environmental analysis; monitoring of industrial processes; and, most recently, the bioanalytical field.
