Morphology
The phrase is compositional: 'qualitative' (concerned with characteristics) combined with 'analysis' (systematic examination) clearly yields an examination of qualities rather than quantities. This standard adjective+noun pattern is transparent and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Qualitative analysis comes from two simple ideas: qualitative (about the qualities or 'what kind' of parts) and analysis (looking closely to find those parts). So it means testing to find which substances are present, not to measure 'how much' of each.
