Rapid mixing followed by time-resolved observation, commonly by fluorescence or absorbance. A signal change must be assigned through a kinetic model rather than automatically equated with chemistry.

Stopped-flow is a technique used in kinetic studies of chemical reactions and biochemical processes to measure rapid changes in concentration of reactants or products over very short time intervals. It is particularly useful for investigating fast reaction kinetics, often occurring on the millisecond to microsecond timescale. ### Key Features of Stopped-flow: 1. **Rapid Mixing**: In stopped-flow experiments, reactants are rapidly mixed in a controlled manner.
