Schneider et al, Anal. Methods, 2012, 4, 901
On the front cover is an interesting picture from Rudolf Schneider of the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Germany. Together with colleagues, their paper is on the study of the influence of temperature deviations on assay parameters. They tested parameters such as signal variation coefficients, limit of detection and measurement ranges by testing for two anthropogenic markers, caffeine and carbamazepine, at a variety of temperatures.

Jang et al., Anal. Methods, 2012, 4, 913
On the inside front cover is some artwork from Jyongsik Jang and colleagues from Seoul National University, Korea. They have fabricated a new type of fluorescent boronic acid-modified polyacrylonitrile (B-PAN) nanoparticle that can be used for an enantioselective monosaccharide sensor. Using a fluorescent polymer nanomaterial for sensors offers advantages, such as low toxicity, environmental safety, diverse functionality, and easy surface modification.
