Our strategy
The Analytical Science Community strategy is defined by three key aims:
- To promote good practice and awareness of analytical chemistry nationally and Internationally
- To promote skills and education in analytical chemistry
- To support continued professional development at all career stages
Meet the members of the Council who are responsible for ensuring that the Community fulfils its purpose.
The Analytical Science Community has its origins in the Society for Analytical Chemistry, the name adopted in 1954 for the body that began its existence in 1874 as the Society of Public Analysts.
When the Society for Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Society amalgamated in 1972, the Society for Analytical Chemistry became the Analytical Division of the new Chemical Society, which went on to become the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 in 1980 when it was granted a new Royal Charter.
A detailed account of the Division’s history can be found in: J.D.R. Thomas, A History of the Analytical Division of the 澳门六合彩开奖记录, 澳门六合彩开奖记录, Cambridge, 1999.
In 2022 the Analytical Division transitioned to the Analytical Science Community to better reflect its purpose. The Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer roles are no longer included in the Analytical Science Community Council composition.

The Analytical Methods Committee (AMC) is the Committee of the Analytical Science Community that handles matters of technical importance to the Analytical Science Community.
Made up of expert Sub-Committees and designated representatives, the broad aim of the AMC is to participate in national and international efforts to establish a comprehensive framework for appropriate quality in chemical measurement and to keep the analytical science community informed of developments.
The AMC acts as an advisory body for the development, revision, and promulgation of validated, standardised and official methods of analysis. We work alongside numerous accreditation services and governing bodies, such as DEFRA, the FSA, and UKAS, to ensure best analytical practice.
Visit the AMC Webpages to find out more about their activities.
AMC Technical Briefs
To keep the analytical science community informed of developments, the AMC publish regular Technical Briefs (TBs) in the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 Journal Analytical Methods. The Technical Briefs can also be used towards CPD certification.
