FIA involves injecting samples into a flowing carrier stream, leading to transient signals at a detector, influenced by physical and chemical processes. The chapter outlines FIA's theory, describing components like propelling units, injectors, detectors, and transport systems. Applications span environmental and clinical analyses.
