FOURTH SYMPOSIUM ON KINETICS IN ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY(KAC '92)September 27-30,1992Erlangen, GermanyYou are cordially invited to participate in the 4th Meeting on Kinetics in Analytical Chemistry (KAC). Thisconference is intended to continue the series of KAC meetings which started in Cordoba, Spain (1983) andthen Preveza, Greece (1986) and Cavtat, Yugoslavia (1989).The meeting will be particularly important to all scientists involved in kinetic techniques in analyticalchemistry and will provide a forum where interesting and useful applications of kinetics can be reported anddiscussed. In addition to keynote lectures there will be poster sessions and a social programme for delegatesand their guests.The scientific programme will include the following themes:Kinetic determination of substances because of their catalytic or inhibitory effectDifferential rate methodsElectrochemical methods (e.g., electrocatalysis and chemically modified electrodes)Flow methods (e.g., flow injection)Chromatographic methodsChemical and biochemical sensorsApplications of luminescenceKinetics in pharmaceutical analysisInstrumentationEnvironmentalScientific Committee:Professor K.Carnmann (Munster, Germany)Professor U .
