Our latest issue is now online, with three excellent cover articles for you to enjoy.
The dramatic front cover features work from Leon Barron and colleagues at King’s College London. They used capillary-scale ion chromatography and suppressed conductivity detection to probe gunshot residue, sweat and latent fingerprints in order to detect low molecular weight anions at the fg–pg level.

This HOT article from Professor Robert Dunn of Kansas University will be part of our upcoming ‘Single’ themed issue, Guest Edited by Henry S. White.
Fluorescence microscopy is one of the most widely used approaches for probing structural and dynamic attributes of both model and natural membranes, and single molecule fluorescence measurements have recently been used to probe the orientation of fluorescent lipid analogs doped into lipid films at trace levels.

“Electrochemistry has a very bright future, limited only by our imagination.”
Professor Joe Wang, UCSD
At the Eirelec ’11 meeting in Adare, Republic of Ireland last year, Professor Mike Lyons of Trinity College met Professor Joseph Wang of the University of California, San Diego. They spoke about Joe’s journey to becoming such a respected scientist, and what he feels about the future for the field of electrochemistry.

Find out what’s HOT in Issue 6
Analyst issue 6 is now published online with three exciting articles featured on the covers!
The front cover of this issue highlights work by Jin Cheng and colleagues from Tsinghua University and the National Engineering Research Centre for Beijing Biochip Technology, China. The group developed an electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing system for assessing in vitro cytotoxicity of anticancer drugs in a human kidney cell model. This system allowed for continuous and automatic measurements with a better resolution for drugs with different toxicity profiles.

The early-stage company Cobalt Light Systems has received European approval for its revolutionary INSIGHT100 bottle scanner, which could enable aircraft passengers to have liquid items larger than 100ml in their carry-on luggage.
The scanner uses Spatially Offset Raman Spectroscopy (SORS), a technique developed by Analyst Editorial Board member, Prof. Pavel Matousek of the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
Pavel says, “Since STFC made the breakthrough in discovering SORS a few years ago, we have worked closely with the team at Cobalt Light Systems to develop and refine this technology. It is particularly exciting to see how this particular scientific development could now go on to make a real difference to the safety and wellbeing of our society.”

If you thought you’d missed your chance to submit an abstract for a talk at the Analytical Research Forum 2012, good news: the deadline has been extended to Friday 17 February.
So make the most of this opportunity and submit your abstract today.
The annual Analytical Research Forum (ARF) is the premier Analytical Science meeting of the RSC. The meeting gives early-stage analytical science researchers (industrial scientists, Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows) the chance to present their latest results in the context of the wider analytical science community, and there will be prizes for the best contributions.
The programme will feature both poster sessions and lectures, including oral presentations from students, medal winners and international leaders in the field.
This year’s ARF takes place at Durham University, and will be Chaired by Dr Ritu Kataky.
We look forward to seeing you there!
