Analyst (2012), 137(3): 529-788
Take a look at the latest issue of Analyst, which features three excellent cover articles.
Featured on the front cover is work from Martin Pumera and colleagues of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. They studied the performances of several chemically modified graphene nanomaterials as sensing platforms by using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique for the detection and believe that their findings may present a foundation for further research and development in graphene-based impedimetric biosensing.
Detection of DNA hybridization on chemically modified graphene platforms
Marcella Giovanni, Alessandra Bonanni and Martin Pumera

The inside front cover features a communication from Andreas Manz of KIST Europe, Germany and his collaborators. They present a label free quantitative detection method for DNA samples amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in aqueous medium using terahertz-time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS)

Our back cover highlights research from Sangmin Jeon of Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Korea, and his co-workers. They adopted a dynamic light scattering (DLS) method to measure the corrosion of iron nanoparticles. The nanoparticle corrosion rate determined by DLS was found to be almost identical to the value obtained by conventional immersion tests.
