Analyst Issue 14 now online!

Park & Hong et al., Analyst, 2012, 137, 3249

Issue 14 for Analyst has now gone online for you to have a look at. We have some wonderful and interesting covers this time.

On the front cover we have an image from Tai Hyun Park, Seunghun Hong and colleagues from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea. They have developed a biosensor that works on the same principles as the canine nose and have used it in the detection of hexanal, which is an indicator of the oxidation of food and food quality.

Gupta et al., Analyst, 2012, 137, 3216

Tarkeshwar Gupta from the University of Delhi and co-workers from India and Germany have given us our inside front cover this issue. In their communication they have made an efficient sensor for ascorbic acid using a copper complex-based monolayer on glass. They hope this is a step forward in research in monolayer-based remote-sensing devices and wireless sensor fabrication.
