About Chemistry

Modern analytical chemistry involves the determination of the identity (qualitative analysis) and amount (quantitative analysis) of components in a sample through instrumental methods of analysis. The Canadian Remote Sciences Laboratories website allows remote access to real instruments used in instrumental analysis. The instrumental methods available are chromatographic or spectroscopic.

Chromatography

Chromatographic instruments are part of the separation sciences allowing components in a sample mixture to be separated. The separation allows substances to be identified based on differences in retention times and to be quantified based on the area under the detected peaks.

Spectroscopy

Spectroscopic instruments use absorption, emission or scattering of electromagnetic radiation to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis. Identification of components may involve transitions at a specific spectral line or the display of responses at several spectral lines (spectrum). The strength of the absorption, emission or reflected band is related to concentration and is used for quantitative purposes.
