Analytical Chemistry

Who we are - What we do

The voice of analytical chemistry

The GDCh Division of Analytical Chemistry has approximately 2,400 members and has represented analytical chemistry in Germany since its founding in 1951. It connects universities, training institutions, government agencies, industry, instrument manufacturers, independent laboratories, and the media. It gives analytical chemistry a strong voice in science, business, politics, and the public sphere and promotes education in analytical chemistry. Intensive, subject-specific work is carried out in its nine working groups and in the Industry Forum Analytics Chemistry.

The Board of the Division involves the younger members ( Young Analytical Chemists ) intensively - also by electing two Young Analytical Chemists to the Board.
