Analytical chemistry is an important field in the life sciences whether the main focus is health (pharmaceutical chemistry), nutrition (food chemistry), food supply (pesticide chemistry), environment (water chemistry, waste minimization, disposal or treatment) or lifestyle (textiles, mobility, cosmetics). Thus chemists (and other scientists) working analytically, whether they are trained originally as analytical chemists or whether they come from a different field and use analytical chemistry as support for their research area, play an important role in supporting the progress in the life sciences.

When a sample is presented to the analyst, the first requirement is to ascertain what the sample is and the substances present for reasons of safe handling, and to find out whether it has been contaminated, accidentally or maliciously. An important part of the analyst s task is the determination of how much of a particular component is present and such a requirement offers a greater challenge to the analyst. This part of the task falls into the realm of quantitative analysis and requires the application of sophisticated techniques used by intelligent and well-trained personnel. With increasing demands for higher standards in the quality of raw materials and finished products - be it foods, pharmaceuticals, industrial, forensics, or whatever - analytical science plays a very important role in ensuring that these standards are maintained. 

Food chemists sometimes discuss their work as more art than science, because there can be so much creativity involved. The training and education typically emphasizes innovation in addition to technical knowledge.
