Unlucky for some, but not for Analyst: Issue 13 is now online and features papers from the ‘Single’ issue, guest edited by Professor Henry S. White from the University of Utah. The issue features some great articles from authors such as Jonathan Cooper, Zuzanna Siwy, Lane Baker and Jonathan Sweedler.
In his Editorial, Professor White highlights the wealth of information that there is to be gained when analytical chemistry is studied at the “single entity” level.
