In order to promote the development of flow injection analysis in China, Fang bought the first commercially produced FIA analyzer, originally produced by BIFOK Company in Sweden, the Tecator FIA 5020, in 1985, and assigned his students to go to Sweden to get the instrument and technique training in 1986, therewith the Maintenance and Repairing Station of FIA-5020 in Chnia was set up in 1987.
