A Review using continuous flow injection analysis technique in the determination of several drugs

Abstract

Continuous flow injection analysis (CFIA) is one of the simplest, easiest, and multilateral analytical automation methods in moist chemical analysis. This method depends on changing the physical and chemical properties of a part of the specimen spread out from the specimen injected into the carrier stream. The CFIA technique uses automatic analysis of samples with high efficiency. The CFIA PC compatibility also allows specimens to be treated automatically, reagents to be added, and reaction conditions to be closely monitored. The CFIA is one of the automated chemical analysis methods in which a successive specimen sample is to be estimated and injected into a vector stream from a flowing solution that meets the reagent and mixes at a specific point, the y-junction, before reaching the detector. However, CFIA does not have a separation method because the sample, carrier stream, and reagent all enter the system simultaneously and move together at a specific flow rate to the end of the system. It is also possible to inject a second specimen sample to be estimated before the first sample reaches the detector. For all the reasons mentioned, the CFIA technique analysis is appropriate, fast, and ideal for analyzing different samples. This general technique deals with solutions and is used for various tasks, including pH measurement, conductivity, colorimetry, titration, and enzyme assays. So, it was used in analytical chemistry to estimate many samples, including medicines, because they are essential substances for human life, and everyone widely uses them.
