Abstract
Multipumping flow systems (MPFSs) are one of the most recent developments in terms of flow‐based analytical methodologies. They differ from conventional flow‐based modalities such as flow injection analysis (FIA) and sequential injection analysis (SIA) in several aspects, including manifold components and configuration, operational mode, and flow hydrodynamics. This paper presents an overview of MPFSs and discusses their basic features, including methodological implementation, operational characteristics, analytical performance, potential, and limitations. Applications to different types of samples involving different detection techniques are discussed.
