Applications of Flow Analysis

The following analyses have all been carried out by flow analysis, either air-segmented flow analysis or flow injection analysis. In the first table the analyses are divided into application areas and most of them are colorimetric. The second table lists analyses that have been reported using flame photometry, atomic absorption, inductively coupled plasma, fluorimetry, luminometry, ion selective electrodes. The list does not claimed to be exhaustive and Burkard Scientific welcomes any enquiry for the development of an analysis not on these lists. Concentration ranges down to p.p.b. levels for most analyses. Please contact us with your analytical requirements.
