• Spectroscopy • Instrument development• Environmental Chemistry • Electroanalytical Chemistry• Art Conservation • Forensics

Analytical Chemistry is the science of measurement thatfocuses on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemicals.All types of instrumental analysis and electrochemistry can beused for the identification and quantitation of analytes. Theanalysis may require the separation of complex mixtures usingvaries types of chromatograph, data analysis, chemometrics andimproved experimental design. Modern analytical methodologiescan at times separate, identify and quantify the chemicalspresent in complex mixtures. Analytical chemistry is used invirtually all industries, government agencies, studies of agents inthe environment and forensics. In the American ChemicalSociety�s 2012 work survey, analytical chemistry was the mostpopular chemical specialty.
