In terms of off-the-shelf, commercially available chemical analysis equipment, what is available? Something that is not too idustrial something not really designed for universities or big companies. Something that does not cost thousands of pounds. I am looking for something readily available and affordable.

Hello, I was speaking to a professor at a university and we were discussing identifying different chemicals. He said there is equipment to identify different chemicals. He said that every substance in the universe has a different number and that you can get equipment which will identify each chemical and give you the number for it. What is the name of this equipment?
