Instrumentation

• Qualitative analysis identifies analytes
• Quantitative analysis determines amount or concentration
• Separation techniques  

  • Precipitation 
  • Extraction 
  • Distillation 
  • Chromatography 
  • Crystallization 
  • Fractionation 
• Identification techniques 

  • Colour 
  • Odour 
  • MP/BP 
  • Radioactivity 
  • Reactivity 
  • Spectra  
  • Mass 
• Quantification is done through instrumentation, generally through interaction with light, heat or magnetic fields 
• A matrix refers to the components of a sample other than the analyte of interest 

  • Different methods are used to separate the analytes from the matrix 
• Circular Dichroism allows you to monitor a proteins secondary and tertiary structure
