We have some new HOT articles for you to enjoy this week!
A new method to trace caffeine in complicated samples, a biosensing assay for DNA detection based on silver nanoparticles, and obelin mutants used as reporters in bioluminescent dual-analyte binding assay are the discoveries outlined in these papers.
We also have an interesting review article on the current trends in liquid extraction procedures for analysis of cosmetics.
Classic and new techniques used in cosmetic analysis
Noelia Cabaleiro and colleagues offer an overview on the technique used today, alternatively to the classic sample preparation procedures. Recent techniques such as microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) are described.
