Kiefer and Kaspereit, Anal. Methods, 2013, 5, 797-800
Here we go with the third issue of Analytical Methods now online! If you are interested in the most recent analytical developments, take a look at the latest papers we have just published.
First, here are the two covers of the issue for you to enjoy. The outside front cover shows an image featuring the work of Johannes Kiefer and his group from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. The team introduced a new Raman set-up taking into account the optical activity and improved the interpretation of spectroscopic data by determining the depolarization ratio in optically active samples.

The lively inside front cover of this issue is a colourful snapshot of a study coming from Austria. Christian Huck and co-workers present a novel analytical platform that enables analysis of St John’s wort extracts and tissue. The researchers show a fast and non-destructive quantitation and quality control to identify adulterations which are usually hard to identify.

Along with the covers of Issue 3, here is an informative Critical Review written by Antonio Rangel and colleagues. The authors explain how the sequential injection lab-on-valve platform has proven to be a powerful tool in the automation of solid phase extraction.
