Scaling Factors Applicable to FIA

The FIA response curve is a result of two processes, the physical dispersion of the sample material in the carrier stream and the chemical reaction(s) forming the species to be measured. Therefore, the dispersion 

To summarize, the three scaling factors are the dispersion coefficient D, the residence time t, and the dispersion factor Pi/2 = SmlVr- These factors were used for optimization of the design of integrated microconduits [608] (Section 4.12). 

While the dispersion factor pi/2 is determined mainly by the geometry of the flow channel and to a lesser extent by the flow velocity, D may be
