It is concerned with the practical applications of chemistry, has seen increased interest in the emergence of the mega-interdisciplinary areas of nanotechnology and systems biology. It consists of classical, wet chemical methods and modern, instrumental methods. Classical qualitative methods use separation methods such as precipitation, extraction, and distillation.  Instrumental methods may be used to separate samples using chromatography, electrophoresis or field flow fractionation.

Molecular spectroscopy is the study of absorption of light by molecules. In the gas phase at low pressures, molecules exhibit absorption in narrow lines which are very characteristic of the molecule as well as the temperature and pressure of its environment. In the microwave and long-wavelength infrared regions of the spectrum, these lines are due to a quantized rotational motion of the molecule. At shorter wavelengths, similar lines are due to quantized vibration and electronic motion as well as rotational motion.

The chemical analysis of water provides considerable insight into the health and workings of lakes, rivers, oceans, and groundwater. Water chemistry has helped scientists to define the different currents and circulation of the world's oceans, improved their understanding of water's interactions with Earth's geologic materials, and given insight into the impact of human activities on waterbodies. It also has provided a clearer understanding of the limits of a waterbody's ability to assimilate (take in) some level of pollution without harming the water system, its aquatic plants and animals, and humans who may use the water.

HPLC is a popular method of analysis for natural products because of its high accuracy, precision and is not differed by the stability or the volatility of the compounds. HPLC combined with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD), mass spectrometer (HPLC-MS) have been successfully utilized for the qualitative and quantitative determination of various types of phytoconstituents like alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, triterpenes, flavonoids etc. HPLC methods are used readily for the determination of drug in biological fluids and pharmaceutical dosage forms. HPLC determination with spectroscopic detection is useful for routine quality control of drugs in pharmaceutical dosage forms and stability studies.

A chromatographic detector is capable of establishing both the identity and concentration of eluting components in the mobile phase stream. A broad range of detectors is available to meet different sample requirements. Detectors respond to a particular compound only and the response is independent of mobile phase composition and the response of bulk property detectors is dependent on collective changes in the composition of sample and mobile phase. Specific detectors are UV-VIS, Photodiode array, fluorescence, and mass spectroscopic detectors. Bulk Property detectors include refractive index, electrochemical and light scattering detectors.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an analytical chemistry technique used in quality control and research for determining the content and purity of a sample as well as its molecular structure.The principle behind NMR is that many nuclei have spin and all nuclei are electrically charged. If an external magnetic field is applied, an energy transfer is possible between the base energy to a higher energy level.The energy transfer takes place at a wavelength that corresponds to radio frequencies and when the spin returns to its base level, energy is emitted at the same frequency. The signal that matches this transfer is measured in many ways and processed in order to yield an NMR spectrum for the nucleus concerned.Most frequently, NMR spectroscopy is used by chemists and biochemists to investigate the properties of organic molecules, although it is applicable to any kind of sample that contains nuclei possessing spin.

The movement of particles under spatially uniform electric field in a fluid is
called electrophoresis.In 1807, Ferdinand Frederic Reuss observed clay
particles dispersed in water to migrate on applying constant electric field for the
first time. It is caused by a charged interface present between the particle surface
and the surrounding fluid. The rate of migration of particle depends on the
strength of the field, on the net charge size and shape of the molecules and also
on the ionic strength, viscosity and temperature of medium in which the
molecules are moving. As an analytical tool, electrophoresis is simple, rapid and
highly sensitive. It is used analytically to study the properties of a single charged
species and as a separation technique. It provides the basis for a number of
analytical techniques used for separating molecules by size, charge, or binding
affinity.

These techniques provide exceptional spatial resolution (down to few tens of a nanometre), but can also be used to analyze and produce images of large areas, up to the size of several square meters. Their application is generally not restricted by the physicochemical state of a sample (liquid, frozen or heated) or by other environmental factors since measurements can be performed either in a vacuum or under atmospheric pressure, in specialized experimental chambers or, use optimized portable spectrometers, even in the field.
