"Analytical chemistry incorporates a multitude of instrumentation-based techniques that are more sensitive, more selective and can be applied to analytical problems in many areas of science where the structure determination and quantisation of chemical species is needed. The combination of two or more techniques had led to the introduction of hyphenated methods that are extremely powerful and require the basic knowledge of the underlying principles. Qualitative, quantitative and structural chemical analysis is employed in sectors as diverse as the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and agricultural industries, as well as those areas of forensic science and the environment"--
