Analytical chemistry is the study of the separation,
identification, and quantification of the chemical components of natural and
artificial materials. Qualitative analysis gives an indication of the identity
of the chemical species in the sample, and quantitative analysis determines the
amount of certain components in the substance. The separation of components is
often performed prior to analysis.
Analytical methods can be separated into classical and
instrumental. Classical methods (also known as wet chemistry methods) use
separations such as precipitation, extraction, and distillation and qualitative
analysis by color, odor, or melting point. Classical quantitative analysis is
achieved by measurement of weight or volume. Instrumental methods use an
apparatus to measure physical quantities of the analyte such as light
absorption, fluorescence, or conductivity. The separation of materials is accomplished
using chromatography, electrophoresis or field flow fractionation methods.
Analytical chemistry is also focused on improvements in
experimental design, chemo metrics, and the creation of new measurement tools
to provide better chemical information. Analytical chemistry has applications
in forensics, bioanalysis, clinical analysis, environmental analysis, and
materials analysis.
