Analytical chemistry is unique among the chemical disciplines in that it is greatly affected by the continual race towards diminutive structures and decreasing completion times. Evidence of this phenomenon is apparent in the employment of smaller particle sizes in chromatographic columns as a means to maximize throughput. This effect permeates sundry chemical industries, and may be particularly exacerbated via the cyclical nature of national economic performance.
