Part B: CSIRO and AAAPL - Chemical Analysis
Identify the name of one of these types of chemist
At CSIRO or more specifically, in the Advanced Analytical laboratory, an emphasis is placed on chemical and forensic chemists. Their main role is to test food based on the guidelines of quality control and assurance. They work with testing contaminants, food processing, antibiotics and antifungals, as well as molecular DNA and PCR analysis. In charge of these chemists is Attila Totszer, one the managing partners of Advanced Analytical. He also works in conjunction with those in the laboratory providing expert advice on anything that is being tested.
Why is analytical chemistry becoming so important in society?
Analytical chemistry has always been a crucial aspect of the manufacturing process, however in the advancing world it is becoming necessary in other areas such as sport, construction, agriculture, microbiology, and DNA science.
On a simple level, this chemistry provides the nutritional information found on most packaged food. The recent fluctuation of new drugs to improve sporting capabilities has prompted the organisations conducting blood tests to improve their methods, namely through analytical chemistry. It is surprising how many areas of life analytical chemists are a part of. In infrastructure, there is an emphasis on building bigger and better, while still maintaining safety. Analytical chemistry provides thorough research into concretes and other structures, finding weaknesses down to the microscopic level. Even soil is tested in this way before something is built above it.
These are just a few examples of the role of analytical chemistry, and why it is becoming so important in society. Even the obvious branches such as forensics has become more advanced and reliable, pharmaceutical chemistry constantly relies on the consulting of analysis, and the food industry looks to laboratories such as Advanced Analytical for there range of testing
