Flow Injection Analysis

FIA – Flow Injection Analysis is a microchemical technique to automate wet chemical methods. In a FIA system, a carrier solution and the chemical reagents are continuously pumped through tubes, mixing coils and finally through a flow cell in a detector. A small portion of the sample is injected into the carrier. The carrier merges with one or more reagents to produce a chemical reaction. The resulting colour change in the sample zone is measured in the detector providing a result in under a minute.

The dispersion or dilution of the sample zone is controlled by the system components, i.e. injected volume, flow rates and length and diameter of the tubing. When the dispersed sample zone reaches the flow cell of the detector neither the chemical reaction nor the dispersion process must have reached completion or a steady state. Keeping identical conditions for both samples and standards makes evaluation and quantification reproducible and precise.

Modular options

Parameters can be analysed one by one on a 1-channel system, switching method cassettes on the FIAstar™ Analyser module in between parameters. Alternatively two or three parameters can be analysed simultaneously on a 2 or 3 channel system, having method cassettes in all FIAstar™ Analyser modules.

The ultimate in ease of use

FIAstar™ 5000 SoFIA software has been designed for convenience and ease of use. Speed buttons can be used for frequently used functions, analytical errors are detected according to GLP and the LIMS interface can be used to export results.
