Pregl, Fritz

In 1929, the first organic microanalytical laboratory in Canada (and one of the first in North America) was started in his Department, under the direction of the author, and graduate students and professors came from all parts of the Dominion to learn the specialized techniques of Fritz Pregl s procedures (which had been passed from Pregl to H. D. K. Drew and, from him, to the author). It was then that we discovered that all chemists can be divided into two groups— those who, unable to acquire the necessary...

Fritz Pregl For his invention of the method of micro-analysis of organic substances. ... 

The Austrian chemist Fritz Pregl (1869-1930) successfully reduced the scale of equipment used in analysis. He obtained an exceedingly accurate balance, designed tiny pieces of glassware, and by 1913 had devised a thoroughgoing technique of microamdysis. Analyses of previously intractable small samples became accurate. 

Fritz Pregl (Austria) for his invention of the method of micro-analysis of organic substances. Pregl, a chemist and physician, was award the prize for his work on ways to quantitatively characterize organic molecules. In particular, he made great improvements to elemental analysis, which reveals the amount of various elements in a substance by measuring the combustion products (or, more simply burn the stuff and see how much CO2, H2O, and NO are released).
