Abstract

This review highlights some relevant contributions proposed by Brazilian analytical research groups mainly after 2004. This year was chosen due to an earlier publication of an overview with similar scope by Andrade et al. (Citation2004). The selected papers are representative, but the authors have not tried to present a comprehensive overview of the aforementioned period. The chosen areas for discussion were automation in analytical chemistry, chemometrics, chromatography, capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, electroanalytical chemistry, environmental analytical chemistry, preconcentration and separation procedures, and spectrochemical analysis. A glimpse of the Brazilian contributions shows the stage of development of analytical chemistry in Brazil, with emphasis on major advancements and critical needs.
