Analytical laboratory at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences

The history of the formation and development of the analytical laboratory at (lie title institute is considered. This laboratory was initially organized for studying the composition of high-purity substances and compound semiconductors and for development of the analytical chemistry of noble metals. At present, the laboratory is developing the elemental and substantial analysis of environmental samples. The roles played by Doctor of Chemistry. Professor I.G. Yudelevich, the founder of the laboratory, and other scientists, his colleagues and former students, are discussed.
