subtype: scatology the chemical analysis of excrement (for medical diagnosis or for paleontological purposes)
subtype: polarography an electrochemical method of chemical analysis
subtype: quantitative_analysis__quantitative_chemical_analysis chemical analysis to determine the amounts of each element in the substance
subtype: colorimetry__colorimetric_analysis quantitative chemical analysis by color using a colorimeter
subtype: volumetric_analysis quantitative analysis by the use of definite volumes of standard solutions or reagents
subtype: acidimetry volumetric analysis using standard solutions of acids to measure the amount of a base present
subtype: alkalimetry volumetric analysis using standard solutions of alkali to measure the amount of acid present
subtype: titration a measured amount of a solution of unknown concentration is added to a known volume of a second solution until the reaction between them is just complete; the concentration of the unknown solution (the titer) can them be calculated

subtype: dialysis separation of substances in solution my means of their unequal diffusion through semipermeable membranes
subtype: apheresis__apheresi__pheresis a procedure in which blood is drawn and separated into its components by dialysis; some are retained and the rest are returned to the donor by transfusion
subtype: plasmapheresis plasma is separated from whole blood and the rest is returned to the donor
subtype: plateletpheresis platelets are separated from whole blood and the rest is returned to the donor
subtype: hemodialysis__haemodialysis__haemodialysi dialysis of the blood to remove toxic substances or metabolic wastes from the bloodstream; used in the case of kidney failure
subtype: dating use of chemical analysis to estimate the age of geological specimens
subtype: radiocarbon_dating__radiocarbondating__carbon_dating__carbon-14_dating a chemical analysis used to determine the age of organic materials based on their content of the radioisotope carbon-14; believed to be reliable up to 40,000 years
subtype: rubidium-strontium_dating a method of dating based on the decay of rubidium-87 into the stable isotope strontium-87; rubidium-87 has a half-life of 47,000,000,000 years
subtype: cost_analysis breaking down the costs of some operation and reporting on each factor separately
subtype: dissection.analysis detailed part-by-part critical analysis or examination as of a literary work
