Ghosh & Mastrangelo, Analyst, 2012, Advance Article
Tridib Ghosh and Carlos H. Mastrangelo from the University of Utah, USA, have developed a new dual slope SPR technique that is 10-fold faster than conventional methods. They have based the technique on the measurement of association and dissociation slopes in two half reactions. Results could be measured in 30 sec compared to 5 mins.

Singh et al., Analyst, 2012, Advance Article
The design and fabrication of monolayer-based sensors for various chemicals, gases, metal ions, explosives and biologically relevant molecules have received much attention recently. In particular, optical sensors are of great interest due to the advantage that the sensing system does not need to be directly wired with large scale electronics.
In this paper, Tarkeshwar Gupta of the University of Delhi, Delhi, India, and colleagues describe the “turn-on” optical detection of parts-per-million (ppm) levels of ascorbic acid in water using a redox-active monolayer on glass.
Their system is based on a nondestructive solution-to-surface one-electron transfer process that can be read out optically with an off-the-shelf UV/vis spectrophotometer.

This month we have a HOT article from our Analyst Editorial Board member, Graham Cooks. Working with his colleagues from Purdue University, USA, they have developed a rapid, point-of-care method to test whole blood samples that have been supported on filter paper using paper spray mass spectrometry. Addition of a coagulant called alum allowed the sample to be tested right away. The technique was tested on the analysis of therapeutic drugs in blood samples. Click through here to read more.
