I appreciate that English may not be your first language, but please do try to spell scientific terms correctly, i.e. "Qualitative analytical
chemistry", "analyse" etc.
Please give more information about what exactly you're testing for, and why, and we may be able to help you further.
BTW, ClO4- is a negative ion, and hence is termed an anion.

Are you trying to determine perchlorate concentration? Do you know any of the other ions present?
If there is no chlorate present, you could add potassium chloride to precipitate potassium perchlorate. This would only work for relatively
concentrated solutions, because potassium perchlorate is slightly soluble in water.

Are you trying to evaluate the purity of a perchlorate salt sample, or trying to detect it as an impurity in something else? I suspect the former, but
vague details will only yield vague answers.

If memory serves me correctly methylene blue will go from blue to violet in the presence of perchlorate ions. Wont give you a quantitative analysis of
the perchlorate ions but it will let you know if they are present.
