Flow injection-solid phase spectrometry (FI-SPS) has been applied to the determination of cobalt(II) in water samples. The complex formed between cobalt and 5-Br-PADAB was on-line protonated and concentrated on an AG 50W-X2 cation-exchanger in a flow-through cell. The increase in absorbance caused by the accumulation of the complex in the resin was continuously measured. The interference by copper could be effectively eliminated by using EDDP as a masking agent. The detection limit was 40 ng dm-3 with a 4.0 cm3 sample solution.
