Analytical Instrumentation is a branch of analytical chemistry that involves the use of instruments and devices to measure, identify, and quantify chemical substances. These instruments help chemists and scientists detect the physical and chemical properties of substances with high precision and accuracy — often beyond what traditional techniques like titration or gravimetric analysis can achieve.
In modern laboratories, instruments do the heavy lifting: they separate mixtures, detect very low concentrations of substances, and identify unknown compounds. Analytical instrumentation is widely used in industries like pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, food safety, forensics, and clinical laboratories.
