“…This is quite surprising, considering that some of the pretreatment steps considered above (As(III)-As(V) interconversion, UV and electrochemical digestion, SPE) can be easily implemented on-line. The advantages of on-line flow analysis with electrochemical detection are summarized by Aldstadt and Martin [101] in their work for the determination of arsenic by potentiometric stripping analysis, a technique that holds several similarities with stripping voltammetry. Among the features mentioned (higher sample throughput, improved precision, lower contamination and human error risks, enhanced chances of automation, lower sample and reagents consumption), exchange of the electrolytic medium between the electrodeposition and the stripping steps becomes straightforward.…”
