Abstract

Without analytical chemistry, it is impossible to imagine the progress of many areas of human activity. The aforementioned importance of this chemistry branch is one of the main reasons for the successful survival and continued development of the Department of analytical chemistry within a technical faculty, such as is the present-day Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology (FCET) University of Zagreb. The dynamics of the development of analytical chemistry was a constant encouragement to the teachers of the Department to adapt to world trends, and systematically improve the curriculum and research work. The beginning of the teaching, the scientific, as well as the professional activities of the Department of Analytical Chemistry was based on classical methods of analysis. However, stimulated by the development of modern analytical equipment, the application of numerous chemical and physicochemical methods of analysis was intensified, of which the most common being chromatography. Namely, the end of the twentieth century accelerated the development of instrumental techniques, the introduction of computers, and the fact that analytical measurement data became the basis of decision-making in medicine, environmental protection, material development, and assuring the quality of processes and products gave rise to analytical chemistry, especially chromatography, which is an ideal technique for multicomponent trace analyte analysis.
