Classical analysis is often also called manual analysis, due to human intervention in the overall analysis.

The analysis was performed with the separation of the components of the analyte in the sample with
the deposition process, extraction or distillation. In qualitative analysis, the components that have been
separated is then reacted with a reagent that produces a product that then can be known by the color,
or the boiling point melting point etc.

Analysis of the instrument began in early 1930, where chemists began to see fenomene other than that
has been developed by classical analysis. Classical analysis was developed by measuring the
conductivity, the electrode potential, the absorption or emission of light, the mass ratio of the electron
absorption and flouresensi for the analysis of inorganic and organic. In addition, chromatographic
separation techniques began to replace the old separation process for the determination of qualitative
and quantitative analysis.
