Abstract

The theory of sample zone dispersion is well known for most cases of practical interest in flow injection analysis. This paper offers a theoretical analysis which allows for the optimal design of single-line flow systems. For various reactor types, a detailed analysis is provided in terms of physical constants, design parameters and constraints. It is shown that, within practical constraints and using a pressure drop of less than 1 bar, it is possible to operate flow systems at 100 samples per hour, with a residence time of 100 s and a reagent consumption of 8 μl for each determination. Further miniaturization of flow systems must rely on smaller detector volumes than those currently available, a situation not unlike that in liquid chromatography.
