µC controlled programmable micro pump • Electrical connector • Power 4 –7 V DC • I2C - Bus • programming • 500µl/min Flow • 150 mBar max Backpressure • over USB-I2C IF fully programmable
Flow-Injection-Analysis • quantitative measurement of components • automated procedure • short response times / high sample throughput • usage in quality control / automated assays • developed by J. Růžička and E.H. Hansen in the year 1975
Flow-Injection-Analysis Sample Reagent Injection valve Detector Pump Reaction coil
Reaction • Detection of Fe3+ • Thiocyanate as reagent • forms red colored Iron-Thiocyanate • detection by absorption at 480 nm
Why a FIA? • All basic fluidic handling necessary - transportation of fluids - dosing of fluids - mixing - detecting - adoption to detection needed - electronics needed
FIA in PCB-Technologie Principle injection detector reagent pump photometrical 480 nm reaction coil sample pump • 2 separate controllable pumps • no injection valve • optical detection
