✦ Synopsis
There were 78 participants from 18 countries at the Ninth International Conference on Flow Injection Analysis, with 63 contributions, including 38 oral presentations and 25 posters. The opening session on Monday morning was devoted to sequential-injection (SI) techniques. Jaromir Ruzicka described the new methodology of flow-injection-based renewable (bio) sensor systems, an SI technique using microbeads as renewable sensing surfaces. The principle of bead capturing and monitoring of reactions was illustrated with different configurations of the jet ring cell with either absorbance or fluorescence measurements. Biomolecular interaction assay by flow-injection absorptiometry (BIA-FIA) was demonstrated for the study of bioligand interactions, such as those of antibody-antigen or cellular receptor agonist reactions. Because many beads used for BIA-FIA are identical to those used as stationary phases in affinity chromatography, this will be of interest to chromatographers as well as to researchers in the field of chemical sensors and drug discovery.
