What is it about?
The techniques for analyzing the metabolite extract can be chosen according to the type and physical state of the sample, the purpose of the analysis, the size of the sample or the type of analytical techniques. According to the latter criterion, analytical techniques are divided into chemical techniques and instrumental techniques.

Why is it important?
Chemical techniques are based on various chemical operations using the usual laboratory glassware consisting of simple apparatus. In these techniques mass or volume is measured. Instrumental techniques involve the use of complex equipment, based on electronic, optical or thermal principles. In these cases, various properties related to the composition of the sample are measured.
Perspectives
The best results are obtained by coupling chemical and instrumental techniques. Optimal results are often achieved by combining both chemical and instrumental techniques. Each technique category has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of technique or combination of techniques should minimize drawbacks while maximizing their advantages to meet the specific analytical requirements.
