Flow Injection Analysis

Flow injection analysis is an automated continuous-flow technique that rapidly injects a sample plug into a flowing stream of carrier solution, where it mixes with reagents and is detected online before reaching the detector. Developed by Jaromir Ruzicka and Elo Hansen in 1975, FIA revolutionized analytical chemistry by enabling rapid, high-throughput analysis with minimal reagent consumption and waste. Flow injection analysis is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, environmental, and clinical laboratories for routine quantitative analysis.
