Analytical Chemistry (CAN)

Section Information

Analytical Chemistry focuses on the development and application of methods to identify, separate, and quantify chemical substances. The field supports research and industry by providing accurate measurement techniques for chemical composition, structure, and properties across environmental, biological, pharmaceutical, and industrial systems.

Current research includes advanced spectroscopy, chromatography, electrochemical analysis, mass spectrometry, sensor development, and microanalytical techniques. Innovations in instrumentation, nanomaterials, automation, and data processing are improving sensitivity, selectivity, and real-time monitoring capabilities.

This section publishes method development studies, instrument design research, validation analyses, applied measurement studies, and review articles related to qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis.
