The 21st Australia and New Zealand Electrochemistry Symposium was held on Tuesday 30th April at Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
The symposium was a huge success, with many fantastic posters being presented. The RSC sponsored five posters for the event, with Analyst Associate Editor Professor Damien Arrigan presenting each of the winners with their certificiates,
And the winners are…

Vibrational spectroscopies, based on infrared absorption and/or Raman scattering provide a detailed fingerprint of a material, based on the chemical content. Diagnostic and prognostic tools based on these technologies have the potential to revolutionise our clinical systems leading to improved patient outcome, more efficient public services and significant economic savings. (Extract from critical review on “Clinical applications of infrared and Raman spectroscopy: state of play and future challenges” by Matthew Baker et al, Analyst, 10.1039/C7AN01871A).
We have gathered our most recent Analyst publications on both fundamental technological and analytical developments and exciting applications on this topic, and are delighted to share this collection with you.

The Gordon F. Kirkbright bursary award is a prestigious annual award that assists a promising early career scientist of any nation to attend a recognised scientific meeting or visit a place of learning. The fund for this bursary was established in 1985 as a memorial to Professor Gordon Kirkbright in recognition of his contributions to analytical spectroscopy and to science in general.
Owing to the generosity of one of our former trustees, an eminent atomic spectroscopist, Professor Edward B.M. Steers, we are now, from 2020, in the position of being able to award an Edward Steers bursary, in addition to the long standing Gordon Kirkbright bursary, to similarly assist a promising early scientist engaged in or utilising analytical spectroscopic techniques.
The ABS Trust defines early career as being either a student, or an employee in a non-tenured academic post or in industry, within 7 years of award of PhD excluding career breaks. The same conditions apply to each bursary.
Applications are invited for both the 2020 Gordon Kirkbright Bursary and the 2020 Edward Steers Bursary. Although both funds are administered by the ABS Trust, the Kirkbright award is not restricted to spectroscopists, but is open to all involved with or utilising analytical science-based techniques.

We are delighted to draw your attention to the recent Analyst themed issue highlighting work on next wave advances in single cell analyses focusing on emerging analytical advances in metabolomic, lipidomic, proteomic, and glycomic approaches – as well as high-dimensional approaches that unify multiple aspects of single-cell biology and medicine.
This collection was put together by Guest Editors Takehiko Kitamori (University of Tokyo, Japan), Amy E. Herr (University of California, Berkeley, USA), Ulf Landegren (Uppsala University, Sweden) and Masood Kamali-Moghaddam (Uppsala University, Sweden), who worked hard to create this issue and ensure that its content was of the highest quality. An Editorial by the Guest Editors prefaces the collection.
