Instrument you couldn’t live without? Perhaps the simplest, most overlooked answer to this question is the analytical balance. Probably no analytical chemist could do much of anything without it. I would guess that no one has indicated this essential device, but rather put forward much more expensive and grandiose instruments. In that vein, I would say we couldn’t have conducted much of our research without HPLC-mass spectrometers.
