What are the components of productivity in an automated ion analyzer and what productivity innovations will the FS 3100 provide to my laboratory?

Productivity is defined as the number of reportable analytical results generated within a given period of time. Over the years there has been much argument over the relative productivities of FIA and SFA. While FIA can process a higher number of samples per hour than SFA with excellent inter-sample washout, the trade-off is a more limited dynamic range, a higher detection limit, and increased reagent consumption for higher throughput chemistries.

Thus, an FIA chemistry must be slowed if operating greater than 2 orders of magnitude in analyte concentration within a run if baseline resolution (complete inter-sample washout) is to be maintained. FIA sample throughput also must be decreased to provide longer reaction times for lower detection limit work. In contrast, SFA combined with OI’s unique Expanded Range™ Detectors enables up to 4 orders of magnitude of dynamic range to be achieved within a single run.

The limited dispersion of SFA allows a relatively narrow peak width or baseline- ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
