Various applications for flow techniques are reviewed including industrial process monitoring (for example, foods and beverages, drugs and pharmaceuticals); as well as agricultural, life science, radioactivity, and environmental analysis with an emphasis on the latter.
This book is a valuable resource for young scientists or graduate-level students who want to learn how to introduce flow techniques into their experiments, and for experts who need specific and technical details to develop complete experimental systems.
- Includes descriptions of the theoretical and technical bases of the most important flow techniques
- Focuses on new trends in the field such as using flow techniques for radioactivity and environmental applications
- Features instructions for coupling different types of detectors online with flow systems
academic and industrial chemists, biochemists, biologists, environmental scientists, and other laboratory personnel; graduate students in these areas

Victor Cerda
Prof. Dr. Víctor Cerdà-Martín graduated from the University of Barcelona (Spain) in Chemistry where he also obtained his PhD in Chemical Sciences. He leads the Laboratory of Analytical and Environmental Chemistry in the University of the Balearic Islands, and the group of Analytical Chemistry, Automation and Environment since 1984. His main line of research has been focused in the development of automated methodologies of analysis based on flow techniques and their application to the determination of parameters of environmental interest. He is the editor, author, and co-author of more than ten books, fifteen chapters, and 500 research articles in international journals and has supervised more than 30 doctoral theses. He has acted as the principal researcher of more than 25 research projects since 1985, including the COMETT II Project of the EU that lead to the creation of the “European School on Environmental Sciences and Techniques”. He has been Vice-Chancellor of Scientific Policy and Innovation in the University of the Balearic Islands. He is also the head and founder of the University spin-off Sciware Systems, S.L., devoted to the development of new automated analytical solutions, and the President of the Association of Environmental Sciences and Techniques (AEST).
