Themed issue on Pharmaceutical Analysis

27 Jun 2011

Prof. Tony Killard (L) and Prof. Craig Lunte (R)

Analytical Methods will be publishing a themed issue on Pharmaceutical Analysis,  guest-edited by Professor Tony Killard from the University of the West of England and Professor Craig Lunte from the University of Kansas.

We aim to cover a wide range of aspects of pharmaceutical analysis, by highlighting novel applications in this area, and also including emerging analytical methods and platforms and process analytics.

The deadline for submissions to the themed issue is 30 September 2011.

Chitosan/MWCNTs nanocomposite for fast isolation of hemoglobin from human whole blood

17 Jun 2011

The nanocomposite preparation protocol provides a useful strategy to obtain nano-particles for separation sciences with improved adsorption performance

A team from China has developed a solid-phase extraction procedure that can be used to isolate hemoglobin from complex sample matrices in work which will be of interest to those working in protein separation and proteomics.  The chitosan/multi-wall carbon nanotube nanocomposites are prepared via surface deposition-cross linking and compared to conventional chitosan adsorbents, the described nanocomposite has a very short adsorption equilibrium time and a high adsorption capacity.

Read the paper for free until 28th July.
