Analytical chemistry is a pace setter for economic development. This will continue to be the case in the future because the material properties of final and intermediate products in industry and research cannot be properly characterised without it. New products however, create new requirements for analytical chemistry: materials of consistent quality must be manufactured and processed. But what are the consequences of the methods used? Under what natural and technological conditions will this take place?
Liquid handling
Safety in technology and chemistry presupposes knowledge of material composition and functional importance of materials – particularly in real world practical contexts. Risk assessment also increasingly requires in-situ and real-time analytical investigations. One must know how substances react and what influences they are subjected to e.g. in chemical facilities. It is important to understand complex relationships and interactions. The "human factor" must also be considered: what dangers can be expected when humans don’t handle materials or finished products as intended?
Plastic samples
In future, analytical chemistry will probably play an even greater role in socio-political controversies: issues surrounding energy resources, food safety or climate change can only be discussed rationally if based on verifiable analytical results.
