Abstract. This study presents the development of a compact and portable in-situ analyzer for nutrient determination. The analyzer can detect the seawater concentrations of nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, ammonia and silicate based on spectrometric method and flow injection analysis with the use of peristaltic pump, 3-port solenoid valves and flow cells. Detection limits are, respectively, 0.3, 0.1, 0.1, 0.3 and0.2 µM for nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, ammonia and silicate. With the use of wash solution and standards, the analyzer can work for long time during seawater monitoring.
