Front cover: Männel-Croisé and Zelder, Anal. Methods, 2012, 4, 2632-2634
Take a look at the latest issue of Analytical Methods, now available online.
On the front cover is an article that has already been highlighted in Chemistry World. Christine Männel-Croisé and Felix Zelder of the University of Zürich have developed a method that enables them to quickly detect blood cyanide levels through a simple colour change. The technique only takes two minutes and does not require any laboratory equipment.

The inside front cover also features work on a method involving a visible colour changes. Takeo Yamaguchi of Tokyo Institute of Technology and co-workers show conversion of a biomolecule signal into a visual color by nanoparticle permeation through a biomolecule-recognition gating membrane.
