We have the Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer which measures the molecular weights of substances and compares them with a predetermined library or database. This is by far the most widely used instrument in the field. We also have the atomic absorpance spectrometer which can help you to determine and distinguish certain metals within a compound. Infrared and ultraviolet spectrometers are also helpful in determining certain organic compounds.
