Dual optical detection and multivariate analysis
thesis
posted on 2018-07-05, 11:34 authored by Robert K. HallamThe application of flow injection analysis into the simultaneous determination
of two or more components has been challenging for many years. Various
detectors such as ultraviolet/visible absorption, fluorescence, and
electrochemical detectors, have been used individually or in combination with
each other. Combining two optical detectors such as fluorescence and
ultraviolet/visible absorbance, however, has always been challenging due to
their incompatibilities. However, the recent developments in fibre optics,
solid-state light sources and miniaturised charged coupled devices (CCD),
allow novel designs and most of the incompatibilities be circumvented. A
flow injection manifold can now be adapted so that only one flow cell is used
along with a diode array CCD detector that can detect both fluorescence and
absorbance simultaneously. The initial development and testing of such dual
detection system is described in this thesis. [Continues.]
