Issue 9 is now online! (apologies for the poetry, it’s just the best way to say it…)
Highlighted on this issue’s cover is work by Tony Killard and colleagues on the development of a fluorescent method for detecting the onset of coagulation in human plasma on microstructured lateral flow platforms. They’ve found that the change in the distribution of the fluorescence within the sample over time was an excellent predictor of the onset of coagulation, which could be used to determine the clotting time.

Also in this issue are a handful of Communications, describing urgent work on topics such as detection of dopamine using fast scan cyclic voltammetry and the preparation of gold nanoparticle-decorated microparticles for hydrogen peroxide detection – do take a look and let us know your thoughts.
