"Flow analysis techniques date to over eighty years ago, but modern analytical flow techniques began in the 1950s with the introduction of segmented flow analysis, followed some two decades later by flow injection analysis. Numerous books have been written over the years on flow analysis in general and flow injection analysis in particular. The most widely used detection systems employ flow cells utilising attenuation or radiation of light. This is the first book to focus on these important detection systems and methods, i.e., spectrophotometry, turbidimetry and nephelometry, and techniques based on fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and bioluminescence. It is intended to be complementary to existing monographs"--
