A dynamic response experiment at an impinging-jet detector indicated that laminar flow in the straight delivery tube was modified by mixing stages in the electrode channel and its connections. The response obtained, resulting from this final dispersion, defines an effective detection volume of 7 pL. In a practical flow injection line made from a number of connectors, coils, and so on, this small volume ensured that the detector described here, which incorporated a well-activated glassy carbon electrode, would not be expected to contribute significantly to the overall dispersion.
