Issue 13

Analyst, 136(13):2657-2868

Japan features on both covers of Issue 13 – take a look:

On the front cover, work by Shingo Saito of Saitama University.  Saito and colleagues have developed novel fluorescent probes for the ultratrace detection of heavy metal ions by capillary electrophoresis using laser-induced fluorescence detection.

DOI: 10.1039/C0AN00777C

Research by H. Shinohara, M. Suzuki and co-workers describing the development of a 2D-SPR imager for living cell-based allergen sensing is highlighted on the inside front cover.
