Mini-columns for analyte separation/concentration can also behave as reactors, resembling the packed bed reactor. In this context, organic polymer monoliths, largely used in the medical and biological fields [73], should be highlighted. Monolithic mini-columns consist of continuous beds with macropores and mesopores which are characterised by low back-pressure effects. These columns offer several other advantages [74], as emphasised in Chapter 8. In the context of flow analysis, monolithic mini-columns were implemented in a sequential injection analyser in 2003 [75] and the potential and limitations of the approach, called Sequential Injection Chromatography, were recently reviewed [76].

In some instances, the flow manifold is designed for sample preparation prior to, e.g., HPLC or gas chromatography. Protocols for in-line sample filtration and dilution in sequential injection chromatography are presented elsewhere [315]. 

Automated radioanalytical chemistry can provide near real time monitoring of reprocessing plant operations (O Hara et al. 2009). A sequential injection chromatography system for the separation and analysis of Am, Pu, and Np isotopes is integrated in a modular system that automates the complete sample analysis process, from initial sample preparation to final data reporting. 

However, since HPLC equipment is expensive, a search for more affordable alternatives was fostered, such as sequential injection chromatography (SIC) and multisyringe chromatography (MSC), both performed with a monolithic column, which have proved to be effective alternatives to HPLC.

Among the variations of the SIA system, sequential injection chromatography (SIC) is the most recent technique and it has been proposed by Huclova et at. [46]. These authors describe the use of a porous monolithic column of silica as the stationary phase coupled to SIA for the separation and quantification of salicylic acid and methyl salicylate in pharmaceutical products.

The development of bead injection analysis (BIA), a variant of SIA, allowed the manipulation of surface-modified beads for chemical assays involving chemical processes in the heterogeneous phase (Ruzicka et al., 1993). The lab-on-valve (LOV) concept provided a further impetus toward miniaturization in flow analysis, minimization of reagent consumption, and scope for more sophisticated sample handling (Ruzicka, 2000). Finally, the introduction of sequential injection chromatography (SIC) made possible the direct hyphenation of flow manifolds with separation columns, enabling multiparametric assays, which have always been a challenge in flow-based analysis (Satinsky et al., 2003).
