A system of sequential injection analysis (SIA) in capillary format ba
sed on an electroosmotic pump is introduced. The system exhibits excel
lent reliability and reproducibility (relative standard deviation 0.6-
0.8%) for both simple and complex chemical reaction systems. The simpl
icity and flexibility of the field-decoupled electroosmotic pump has b
een found to be ideally suited for SIA. There is significant potential
for miniaturizing the necessary instrumentation.
