Instrument: Flow Injection Analyzer

Instrument Short Name: FIA
(http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB36/)
Instrument Description:

An instrument that performs flow injection analysis. Flow injection analysis (FIA) is an approach to chemical analysis that is accomplished by injecting a plug of sample into a flowing carrier stream. FIA is an automated method in which a sample is injected into a continuous flow of a carrier solution that mixes with other continuously flowing solutions before reaching a detector. Precision is dramatically increased when FIA is used instead of manual injections and as a result very specific FIA systems have been developed for a wide array of analytical techniques.

PI supplied instrument name: Flow injection for dMn system with Rainin Dynamax Absorbance detector UV-C
Dataset-specific description

Dissolved Mn was determined using a Flow Injection Analysis scheme with spectrophotometric detection (Rainin Dynamax UV-C). Major components were a Rabbit peristaltic pump, a Rainin Dynamax UV-C, a Rainin A/D board and a Macintosh G3 computer running Rainin MacIntegrator v 1.4.3 to log and reduce data.
