A céticas refers to a group of analytical methods used to determine the concentration of various substances in a sample, often involving chemical reactions or physical properties. These methods are fundamental in fields such as chemistry, biology, environmental science, and quality control. The term itself implies a precise and rigorous approach to measurement, aiming for accurate and reliable quantitative results.

Common techniques within the umbrella of céticas include titrations, spectroscopy, chromatography, and electrochemical analysis. Titration, for instance, involves reacting a solution of known concentration with a sample of unknown concentration until a specific endpoint is reached, allowing for calculation of the unknown's quantity. Spectroscopic methods, like UV-Vis or atomic absorption spectroscopy, measure how a substance interacts with electromagnetic radiation to identify and quantify it. Chromatography separates components of a mixture, enabling individual analysis, while electrochemical methods measure electrical properties related to chemical composition. The choice of a specific céticas method depends on the nature of the analyte, the required sensitivity, and the available instrumentation.
