“…In this situation, ow-based methods, such as ow injection analysis (FIA), multisyringe FIA, and sequential injection analysis, have been proposed and even successfully applied in automated analysis for rapid screening purposes. [13][14][15] On the basis of FIA, UV spectroscopic ngerprinting is preferred to monitor the TCM/ HM quality, owing to its apparent analytical advantages, such as low experimental expenses, simple sample preparation, and short measurement time. It is common knowledge that UV spectra can display the features of unsaturated bonds information, such as for n-s*, n-p*, and p-p*, qualitatively and quantitatively; 16 therefore, UV spectroscopic ngerprinting in combination with chemometric methods can be used for monitoring the TCM/HM quality in a straightforward, rapid, and effective manner.…”
