There are plenty of HOT articles to take a look at in our latest issue, including one from our Editor-in-Chief, Brett Paull. His paper, with co-authors Hassan Alwael and Damian Connolly, describes a rapid, sensitive and reproducible liquid chromatographic method specifically for the quantitative determination of total free sialic acid, employing thiobarbituric acid as pre-column tagging agent, following the oxidation of sialic acid with periodic acid.
