In the review principles and analytical applications of conductometric, potentiometric, voltammetric and coulometric detection in streaming solutions are described, with the emphasis on dynamic interfacial techniques. Sensitivity, detection limit, linear dynamic range, response time, selectivity and stability are discussed. Favourable detector cell designs are described focussing on hydrodynamic, electrochemical and stability characteristics. Practical applications of amperometric detectors are summarized. Finally most recent developments and further trends in detector research are outlined.
