Popis: A novel strategy for implementing differential reaction-rate methods in flow-injection analysis is proposed and applied to the determination of copper and nickel in plant digests using 2-(5-brom-2-pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)-phenol (Br-PADAP) as the color-forming reagent. Multi-site detection is involved, therefore the flow cell is displaced between two monitoring sites, and the analytical signals refer to different conditions of sample dispersion, reaction development and timing. The system handles 20 samples h−1 and requires 0.32 mg Br-PADAP per determination. Signal additivity was evaluated within 98 and 102%, and linear responses (r > 0.999; n = 6) were verified for both copper and nickel up to 0.80 mg l−1. Detection limits of 0.01 and 0.04 mg l−1 Cu and Ni were estimated by considering the highest concentration of the counter analyte. Results are precise (R.S.D.
