The potential of the flow-rate gradient technique for the automatic testing of enzyme modifiers is demonstrated by using the acetylthiocholine/acetylcholinesterase system. Modifier concentration gradients are created in the enzyme flow by establishing flow-rate gradients via computer control of the

✦ Synopsis
An automatic flow methodology was developed to study the selectivity of analytical flow methods. The methodology is characterized by its simplicity, rapidity, precision and flexibility. The flow-rate gradient technique was used to establish interferent concentSi6n gradients along the manifold where the main photometric reaction took place. By continuously monitoring the absorbance, the maximum tolerated foreign species to analyte concentration ratio was automatically determined. The aluminium(III)-Eriochrome
Cyanine R system was chosen to test the performance of the new methodology.
