Analytical Techniques • Chemical analysis is an indispensable servant of modern technology whilst it partly depends on that modern technology for its operation. • The two have developed hand in hand.
Analytical Techniques • Classical Techniques • Instrumental Techniques • Historically derived and artificial
Analytical Problems and their Solution • The solutions of all analytical problems, both qualitative and quantitative follow the same basic pattern which can be described under seven general headings.
Analytical Problems and their Solution • Choice of method • Sampling • Preliminary sample treatment • Separations • Final measurement • Method validation • Assessment of the results
