Is it true that Bioanalytical chemistry can help you live a healthier life?

Image
  The branch of analytical chemistry dedicated to the separation, detection, identification, and quantification of biological substances is known as bioanalytical chemistry. It uses chromatography and mass spectroscopy techniques, which are common in analytical chemistry. The purpose of bioanalytical methods is to quantify a drug's and/or its metabolite's or biomarker's concentration in biological fluids such as blood, plasma, serum, urine, and saliva, as well as tissue extracts. However, because biomolecules are designed to work in physiologic circumstances, pH, temperature, and ionic strength changes that occur during many traditional analyses can disrupt molecular interactions and cause structural alterations in proteins and nucleic acids. Existing analytical techniques have been modified to safeguard sensitive biomolecules, and new techniques, such as immunoassay, have been developed to take advantage of biomolecules' specific features.

How to overcome environmental challenges with analytical chemistry?

Image
  Environmental chemistry is concerned with the consequences of chemical substances found in nature (air, water, soil, food chains and organisms). Analyticalchemistry is concerned with the development of analytical methods for solving problems in environmental chemistry, such as environmental monitoring, water quality research, and effluent pollutants. Human invention, particularly in the field of analytical chemistry, can also help to solve environmental problems, saving both the environment and populations from harmful health implications. This year's Pittcon will focus on the use of analytical chemistry to environmental and human health issues. Pittcon will address the underlying scientific principles of climate change that affect everyone every day, especially during a global pandemic where health is at the forefront of research efforts and media attention, with a diverse group of researchers, health policy experts, and industry professionals. Characterizing and identifying to...
