This contribution describes the application of Multicriteria Decision Making tools in analytical chemistry. The general scheme of MCDM is presented to show its general steps. The most frequently applied in analytical sciences MCDM techniques – AHP, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE and TOPSIS – are briefly described and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The applications in analytical chemistry are selection of an appropriate analytical procedure and optimization of analytical processes. MCDM techniques are also applied to select analytical reagents according to their environmental impact, human health and safety issues – solvents and derivatization agents are assessed in this way.
