Separation Techniques & Formulation

Analytical chemistry

Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the separation, identification, and quantification of chemical compounds. Chemical analyses can be qualitative, as in the identification of the chemical components in a sample, or quantitative, as in the determination of the amount of a certain component in the sample. Analytical chemistry is also focused on improvements in experimental design, chemometrics, and the creation of new measurement tools. Analytical chemistry has broad applications to forensics, medicine, science, and engineering.
