The autoanalyzer represented a substantial advance in the ability to make repetitive on-board chemical measurements. The development of flow-injection analysis promises to enlarge enormously the scope and speed of such methods. The flow-injection methods were pioneered in clinical chemistry, and are being developed for oceanography by Kenneth S. Johnson and Robert L. Petty. Dana Kester and Richard W. Zuehlke are also developing new autoanalyzer techniques for the rapid analysis of certain trace metals in seawater. One of the most technologically exciting prospects for the future involves the use of fiber optics to transmit a spectroscopic signal from an in-situ sensor to the ship s deck.
