Abstract: | After Karel Eckschlager (Prague) introduced information theory into analytical chemistry in the mid 60s, its usage and importance
to the discipline has grown exponentially. One wonders whether it is the chicken or the egg in this case as well, but without
informatics the immense amount of data produced in analytical measurements today could not be digested, filtered, and understood.
Klaus Doerffel (Deceased, formerly of Leipzig) was an active and driving participant in the development of informatics and
its use in analytical chemistry. He has summarized the field up to 1995 in a work entitled: “Analytical science – A discipline
between chemistry and metrology.” The work is too large to permit full publication in this journal. Therefore, the important
points are summarized here, and the full text can be obtained by written request to the Editorial Office.
