Analytical parameters are used to characterize organic and inorganic substances with standardized methods.
Physical parameters	Chemical parameters
Color number Density Melting point Viscosity Particle size distribution	Ash/sulfate ash Water (Karl Fischer) Dry substance/evaporation residue, etc.

Gravimetry usually permits determination with a substantially higher accuracy. It is therefore often used as a check for other methods, even though it is relatively time-consuming.

Applications of gravimetric determinations:

Moisture content Dry weight Evaporation residue Ash content Sulfate ash Metal ions

CCA uses a variety of automated procedures for digestion or sample preparation before the analytical determination itself.

Focus of digestion procedures:

Acid Fusion Microwave
