Analytical chemistry is a fundamental field that plays a crucial role in various scientific and industrial applications. It involves the use of analytical methods to measure the purity of newly synthesized chemicals, as well as to report the appropriate units of measurement. For analytical chemists, the "Orange Book" is a vital tool that serves as a comprehensive source of terms and information.

First published in 1978, the latest edition of the "Orange Book" has been updated to reflect the significant advancements in analytical procedures. It takes into account the explosion of new techniques and the diverse range of procedures that are currently in focus. The scope of analytical chemistry has expanded significantly, with new types of instrumental techniques emerging and automation becoming increasingly prevalent.

One of the key developments in analytical chemistry has been the ability to share information not only on the chemical composition and structure of samples, but also changes in composition and structure over time. This has led to the introduction of new chapters on chemometrics, bio-analytical methods of analysis, and sample treatment and preparation. The terminology used in metrology and quality assurance has also been updated to align with the latest ISO and JCGM standards.

The "Orange Book" is an indispensable reference resource for analytical chemists, providing them with a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the field. It revises and updates accepted terminology, offering the official language of analytical chemistry. With its vast coverage of analytical methods, techniques, and terminology, the "Orange Book" will remain a valuable tool for the coming decade, aiding researchers and professionals in their pursuit of knowledge and innovation.
