Analytical Chemistry

This specialization covers determining what a sample contains and how much: sampling and sample preparation, classical gravimetric and volumetric methods, spectroscopic techniques including UV-visible, infrared, atomic absorption and emission, chromatographic separation by GC and HPLC, mass spectrometry and hyphenated methods, and electroanalytical techniques. Calibration, method validation, detection limits and the statistics of measurement error are treated as core.
