Wang and Schultz, Analyst, 2013, 138, 3150-3157
The latest issue of Analyst is now online and ready for you to enjoy. We have three new covers and a couple of HOT papers free for you to read.
On the outside cover is an image from a paper by Zachary Schultz and Hao Wang from the University of Notre Dame, USA, showing functionalised nanoparticles detected with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) using streptavidin and biotin as a model system for protein-ligand binding. The researchers examined the chemical origin of enhanced signals from SERS and TERS detection and observed that different sizes of functionalised nanoparticles show changes in intensities in both types of measurements.

Yun et al., Analyst, 2013, 138, 3196-3200
Our inside front cover features a study on digital imaging of cultured cells enhanced by augmented reality technologies. Won Gu Lee and colleagues from Seoul National University, South Korea, present a new method to look at specimens under the microscope using augmented indicators. This new technique enables observation of long term live cells and identification of the exact location of individual cells within a biological sample.
Microscopic augmented-reality indicators for long-term live cell time-lapsed imaging

Ishimoto et al., Analyst, 2013, 138, 3158-3162
Finally, our outisde back cover showcases research on the simplification of conventional neuraminidase inhibitor assays. Hideaki Hisamoto and his group at Osaka Prefecture University, Japan, successfully integrated the assay into a single step operation using a combinable poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) capillary sensor array.
