From page 35...
... Continuous processes allow data collection in a shorter time relative to batch processes. The data collection efficiency of autobatch systems has been compared with a continuous system by Stevenson and He Fast Chemistry Group at He Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)

From page 36...
... (12) The variable k2 is the time required for discarding the current sample and positioning the new one; hence, k2 will depend on the chemical separation being used, the transport time of the separated sample to the detector position, and other physical restrictions of the autobatch system.
