Microanalysis - Microchemical analysis

There are two types of analysis: analysis of extremely small amounts of samples, and analysis of components present in extremely small quantities. In the former, it does not matter whether the components are present in small or normal amounts, but the sample handled is usually about 1 to 10 milligrams, and there is no strict distinction. It is somewhere between semi-microanalysis and ultra-microanalysis, and uses special small equipment for chemical operations, and weighing is done with a microbalance designed for microanalysis. On the other hand, in the latter case, the sensitivity of the analytical method becomes an issue, and it is often difficult to analyze using chemical means alone, so recently high-sensitivity analytical methods using various equipment are often used.

Japanese:

きわめて微量の試料を扱って分析を行うことをいう場合と、きわめて含有量の少ない成分を分析することをいう場合とがある。前者では含有成分が微量であると常量であるとを問わないが、扱う試料としてはおおよそ1~10ミリグラム程度をさすことが多く、厳密な区別はない。半微量分析と超微量分析との中間に位置し、化学操作には特殊な小形の器具を使用し、秤量(ひょうりょう)は微量分析用に設計された微量天秤(てんびん)を用いて行う。一方、後者の場合は分析法の鋭敏度(感度)が問題となり、化学的手段だけで分析することが困難な場合が多く、最近では種々の機器を利用した高感度分析法を利用することが多い。
