As technology evolved, the field shifted toward instrumental techniques, which offer higher sensitivity and faster analysis:

Techniques used to separate complex mixtures into individual components based on their differential distribution between a mobile phase and a stationary phase (e.g., HPLC, Gas Chromatography). Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry

Historically, analytical chemistry relied on "wet chemical" methods. These remain fundamental today: As technology evolved, the field shifted toward instrumental
