Abstract
Due to the different uses of radioactivity during the last decades, there has been an increase in the concentration of natural and artificial radionuclides in the environment. This, along with some accidents with a high affect public opinion (for example, Chernobyl and Fukushima), have led to the growth and establishment of environmental radioactivity monitoring programs. Currently, trends in legislation and research are focused on the development of accurate, precise, reliable and fast analytical methods with low limits of detection (LOD) for radionuclides determination, such as strontium and yttrium, in environmental samples. In this paper, two comprehensive reviews and four automated analytical systems for total and isotopic determination of yttrium and strontium are presented. The developed methods have been applied in the analysis of environmental samples with low concentrations of these analytes. These methodologies have been automated by exploiting flow analysis techniques, such as multi-syringe flow injection analysis (MSFIA), Sequential injection analysis (SIA) and laboratory-on-valve (LOV) systems, achieving a minimal handling and low consumption of samples and reagents, a significant reduction in waste generation and a high frequency of analysis. In the developed methodologies, some spectrometric methods such as ICP-OES and ICP-MS have been implemented as detection techniques instead of radiometric detectors obtaining a fully automated, low-cost and fast yttrium and strontium determinations.

Abstract
We report on the hyphenation of the modern flow techniques Lab-In-Syringe and Lab-On-Valve for automated sample preparation coupled online with high-performance liquid chromatography. Adopting the bead injection concept on the Lab-On-Valve platform, the on-demand, renewable, solid-phase extraction of five nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, namely ketoprofen, naproxen, flurbiprofen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen, was carried out as a proof-of-concept. In-syringe mixing of the sample with buffer and standards allowed straightforward pre-load sample modification for the preconcentration of large sample volumes. Packing of ca. 4.4 mg microSPE columns from Oasis HLB® sorbent slurry was performed for each sample analysis using a simple microcolumn adapted to the Lab-On-Valve manifold to achieve low backpressure during loading. Eluted analytes were injected into online coupled HPLC with subsequent separation on a Symmetry C18 column in isocratic mode. The optimized method was highly reproducible, with RSD values of 3.2% to 7.6% on 20 µg L-1 level. Linearity was confirmed up to 200 µg L-1 and LOD values were between 0.06 and 1.98 µg L-1. Recovery factors between 91 and 109% were obtained in the analysis of spiked surface water samples.

Abstract
In resource-limited settings, mass food fortification is a common strategy to ensure the population consumes appropriate quantities of essential micronutrients. Food and government organizations in these settings, however, lack tools to monitor the quality and compliance of fortified products and their efficacy to enhance nutrient status. The World Health Organization has developed general guidelines known as ASSURED (Affordable, Sensitive, Specific, User-friendly, Rapid and Robust, Equipment-free, and Deliverable to end-users) to aid the development of useful diagnostic tools for these settings. These guidelines assume performance aspects such as sufficient accuracy, reliability, and validity. The purpose of this systematic narrative review is to examine the micronutrient sensor literature on its adherence towards the ASSURED criteria along with accuracy, reliability, and validation when developing micronutrient sensors for resource-limited settings. Keyword searches were conducted in three databases: Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus and were based on 6-point inclusion criteria. A 16-question quality assessment tool was developed to determine the adherence towards quality and performance criteria. Of the 2,365 retrieved studies, 42 sensors were included based on inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results showed that improvements to the current sensor design are necessary, especially their affordability, user-friendliness, robustness, equipment-free, and deliverability within the ASSURED criteria, and accuracy and validity of the additional criteria to be useful in resource-limited settings. Although it requires further validation, the 16-question quality assessment tool can be used as a guide in the development of sensors for resource-limited settings.

Abstract
In this work, the implementation of Bead Injection with multicommutation-based flow systems is reported. A surface renewable chemiluminescence (CL) flow sensor is presented based on the use of CL reaction of luminol with H2O2. Dowex 1 × 8 beads with immobilized luminol onto them were injected in the flow system by means of a six-port rotary valve and were accommodated into a 1 mm optical glass flow cell placed just in front of the rectangular photosensor window with the same size than the cell wall. Automatic computer-controlled manipulation of both reagents and sample solutions was undertaken using a multicommutated flow system which comprises five three-way solenoid valves, a home-made electronic interface and a Java-written software. Once the chemiluminescence signal was registered, sensing beads were automatically discarded out with a six-port rotary valve without needing to reverse or stop the flow. As a proof of concept and example, the enhancement of the chemiluminescence signal produced by Co(II) on the luminol-H2O2 reaction in alkaline medium was used for illustrating this implementation determining vitamin B12 in pharmaceutical preparations (after mineralization for releasing Co(II)). The analytical performance of the approach was satisfactory, showing a linear dynamic range from 1.7 to 50 µg L-1, a detection limit of 0.5 µg L-1, RSD (%) of 5.3%, with a sampling frequency of 11 h-1. The proposed approach was applied to different samples and the results were consistent with those obtained with a reference method based on ICP-MS. Based on the same reaction (or re-configuring the system to accommodate it to reaction requirements) the approach can also be applied to the determination of other metal ions such as Cr(III) and Fe(II) and appropriately extended to molecules of bioanalytical interest based e.g. in CL immunoassays, given its versatility.

Abstract
A simple direct spectrophotometric method was developed for the analysis of Fe(II) and total Fe in wine samples. This method is based on the formation of an Fe(II) complex with 2,2'-dipyridylketone picolinoylhydrazone (DPKPH), which shows a maximum green-blue absorption (λ = 700 nm) at pH 4.9. Operative conditions for the batch procedure were investigated including reagent concentration, buffer solutions, and wavelength. The tolerance limits of foreign ions and sample matrix have been also evaluated. Limits of detection and quantification were 0.005 and 0.017 mg L(-1) of Fe(II), respectively, allowing its determination in real wine samples. Finally, the proposed method was used in the analysis of white, rose, and red wines. Results were compared with a reference method of Commission Regulation (ECC) No. 2676/90 of September 1990 determining European Community methods for the analysis of wines for Fe analysis, showing the reliability of the proposed method in Fe analysis in wine samples.

Abstract
The use of the first flow-cell for magnetic assays with an integrated magnet is reported here. The flow injection analysis system (FIA) is used for biotin determination. The reaction scheme is based on a one step competitive assay between free biotin and biotin labeled with horseradish peroxidase (B-HRP). The mixture of magnetic beads modified with streptavidin (Strep-MB), biotin and B-HRP is left 15 min under stirring and then a washing step is performed. After that, 100 μL of the mixture is injected and after 30s 100 μL of 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is injected and the FIAgram is recorded applying a potential of -0.2V. The linear range obtained is from 0.01 to 1 nM of biotin and the sensitivity is 758 nA/nM. The modification and cleaning of the electrode are performed in an easy way due to the internal magnet of the flow cell.

Abstract
This article presents an overview of our recent progress on the development of chelating materials. Carboxymethylated pentaethylenehexamine (CM-PEHA) and polyethyleneimine (CM-PEI) as chelating ligands show excellent performance for the solid-phase extraction of trace elements. Chelating resins immobilizing these ligands can be readily prepared by immobilizing PEHA and PEI on methacrylate resins and then carboxymethylating them. Chelating fiber can also be prepared with a wet spinning technique using a mixture of a viscose solution and a solution containing fine particulate CM-PEHA resin or CM-PEI. The potentials of these chelating materials for the separation and preconcentration of trace elements are outlined.
