A 16‐channel fully automated microcomputer‐based system was designed to measure the disappearance of NO − 3 NO − 2 and NH + 4 simultaneously from uptake solutions. The analyses were done using high‐performance liquid chromatography. Statistical procedures were used to generate transport kinetics and interactions amongst NO − 3 , NO − 2 and NH + 4 by intact wheat seedlings. The simultaneous analysis of NO − 3 , NO − 2 and NH + 4 at real‐time; the accommodation of varying sampling intervals; the capability to study up to 16 experimental units in synchrony; and the analysis of the data with a microcomputer, make this a powerful system for studying transport kinetics and interactions.
