Analytical measurements are conducted daily across a broad spectrum of industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, agriculture and water treatment plants, and more. These analytical measures reportedly produce longer run times, greater yield, and enhanced regulatory compliance.

In biology, analytical tests and measurements are used in research and for the development and quality control of pharmaceutical products. More specifically, in the Life Sciences, bioanalysis is a sub-discipline of analytical chemistry dedicated to the quantitative measurement of xenobiotics (i.e., drugs and the metabolites or biological molecules found in unnatural locations or concentrations) and biotics (i.e., macromolecules, proteins, DNA, metabolites, etc.) in biological systems.
