A selective reaction or test is one that can occur with other substances but exhibits a degree of preference for the substance of interest. A specific reaction or test is one that occurs only with the substance of interest. Unfortunately, few reactions are specific but many exhibit selectivity. Selectivity may be achieved by a number of strategies. Some examples are: Sample preparation (e.g., extractions, precipitation) Instrumentations (selective detectors) Target analyte derivatization (e.g. derivatize specific functional groups with detecting reagents) Chromatography, which provides powerful separation 26
