Analytical Chemistry and Engineering

Analytical chemistry is the component of chemistry most closely related to engineering and involves in the development of new instrumentation and new technology used to separate, identify, and quantify matter. It is concerned with the practical applications of chemistry, has seen increased interest in the emergence of the mega-interdisciplinary areas of nanotechnology and systems biology. It consists of classical, wet chemical methods and modern, instrumental methods. Classical qualitative methods use separation methods such as precipitation, extraction, and distillation.  Instrumental methods may be used to separate samples using chromatography, electrophoresis or field flow fractionation.
