What is Analyte?

An analyte is a specific substance or component that is being measured or analyzed in a laboratory test. It can be a chemical compound, biological molecule, or any element present in a sample that is subject to qualitative or quantitative analysis.

Analytes are crucial in various scientific and industrial fields, including:

• Clinical diagnostics – Measuring glucose in blood tests, detecting biomarkers for diseases.
• Pharmaceutical research – Analyzing drug compounds in formulations.
• Environmental science – Detecting contaminants in water or air samples.
• Food and beverage testing – Identifying nutrients, additives, or contaminants in food products.

What are the Types of Analytes?

• Organic analytes – Proteins, enzymes, hormones, DNA, and pharmaceutical compounds.
• Inorganic analytes – Metals, ions, and minerals like sodium, potassium, or calcium.
• Gaseous analytes – Carbon dioxide, oxygen, and pollutants in air quality testing.
  Importance of Analyte Testing
• Quality Control – Ensures the safety, potency, and consistency of pharmaceuticals, food, and industrial products.
• Medical Diagnostics – Helps diagnose diseases, monitor treatment effectiveness, and track biomarkers.
• Environmental Monitoring – Detects pollutants and ensures regulatory compliance for air, water, and soil quality.
