Growth of Published Papers on FIA

Closely associated with the problem of dilution is the restriction that thus far this system has been successfully operated with only a single reaction stream. To date, attempts to introduce two dr more merging streams in the reaction flow system have met with only limited success [our emphasis]. 

Therefore, the designs of this group employed only a single reagent line for the next four years [62, 167] and the authors themselves decided to identify their work as FIA as late as in 1979 [62].

6 years potentiometry, 4.0 years and voltammetry, 2.8 years. Interestingly, the doubling times of the entire world chemical and analytical literature are even longer 13.9 and 14.5 years, respectively [7.12]. 

by allowing speciation, and by removing matrix effects. For kinetic reasons, FIA is an ideal vehicle for chemiluminescence [330, 731, 1160].
