✦ Synopsis

A flow-injection analysis (FIA) system which implements the generalized standard addition method is constructed. The FIA system, which is a model system, is furnished with a photodiode-array spectrophotometer as a detector and is a two-line system: one line transports the undiluted sample, which is merged with the second line, into which the standard is injected and dispersed to obtain different amounts of added standard. The performance of the constructed flow system and the partial least-squares solution to the generalized standard addition model is investigated with indicator samples, and an outlier detection technique capable of detecting direct inte~erences is implemented. By introducing two chasing zones in the standard stream a two analyte calibration space will be spanned, and a generalized standard addition can be performed. Samples containing one analyte and two analytes as well as samples containing direct interferences are analysed to test the FIA system and the outlier detection method.
