Analytical chemistry is a specialized skill that involves the use of various methods and techniques to analyze chemical compounds and assess their properties. It is a fundamental branch of chemistry that helps in identifying and quantifying the components of various sample materials, including food, drugs, and biological organisms. Analytical chemists use a range of analytical instruments, such as spectroscopes, chromatography instruments, and titrators, to carry out quantitative and qualitative analysis of samples. They work in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, manufacturing, and research institutions, to ensure compounds are safe, pure, and meet regulatory requirements.
