“…When compared to the analytical performance properties of the current VA-CPE method with those of other detection methods in literature such as LODs, linear working range, precision, preconcentration and sensitivity enhancement factors [4,5,13,14,30,32,33], except for IC method based on catalytic effect of thiosulfate onto photometric reaction between I 3 − and N 3 − at pH 5.0 [1] in Table 4, it shows many advantages such as simplicity, minimum solvent consumption, reasonable repeatability/reproducibility, a linear working range of 600-fold, a low detection limit with comparatively little interference with a highly good calibration sensitivity. IC as detection tool has disadvantages such as long analysis time (>15 min), expensive analysis equipment and chemicals, poor recovery due to peak tailing and/or peak overlapping especially at high concentrations, so as to lead to recalibration of instrument.…”
