Abstract
Microanalytical techniques were first developed by Pregl [1] for the determination of elementary composition of organic materials. Such procedures provided a means of characterization for materials such as products of biological processes which were available in small amounts only. The observation of precipitation reactions under the microscope [2] permitted the scaling down of qualitative analytical procedures for inorganic materials, and the formation of colors and precipitates was used for qualitative microanalysis in Feigl’s “Tüpfelanalyse” (spot analysis)[3]. However, the separation methods of chemical quantitative (“wet”) analysis were difficult to adapt, mainly because of the strong capillary effects in the manipulation of liquids in the microscopic domain.
