What Is Flow Analyzer

• Flow Analyzers (CFA) operate by introducing a
  sample and reagent(s) into tubing separated by
  bubbles. Each segment of sample mixture goes
  through a mixing coil or other tubing where
  chemical reactions occur. ... The sample is then
  transported to a detector where the developed
  sample is analyzed in a flow cell.

How Does the AutoAnalyzer Work?

• The QuAAtro39 AutoAnalyzer is the very latest
  generation of the original world-class Technicon
  Continuous Segmented Flow Analyzer (SFA).
  QuAAtro39 AutoAnalyzer is now even more flexible
  and with 33 more capacity over its predecessor,
  further improving laboratory efficiency.

• A basic Continuous Segmented Flow Analyzer
  consists of an AutoSampler, a peristaltic pump, a
  chemistry manifold, a detector and data
  acquisition software. Samples and reagents are
  pumped continuously through the chemistry
  manifold. Air bubbles are introduced at regular
  intervals forming unique reaction segments, which
  are mixed using glass coils. Glass is ideal, as
  it is inert, stays clean and enables easy visual
  checks.

• In Continuous Segmented Flow Analyzers reactions
  run to completion, and the ratio of sample to
  reagents in the detector reaches a constant
  maximum value. This results in ultra-low
  detection limits and exceptional reproducibility.
  Variations in reaction time, temperature, and
  sample matrix do not affect the results as they
  do in other colorimetric techniques, such as Flow
  Injection Analysis, where the reaction is not
  brought to completion.
