Ultra sensitive saccharide detection assay

17 Dec 2010
By .

A recent Analytical Methods paper by Ashutosh Tiwari and colleagues has gained attention in prolific newspaper The Times of India.  They describe a novel saccharide detection assay based on covalent immobilization of amino phenyl boronic acid (APBA) in thin films of carboxyl functionalized chitosan.

Butterfly effect

07 Dec 2010
By .

Specimens were placed on a board and a probe moved over the wings

A way to identify individual butterflies from the same species has been designed by scientists in Hungary, who say that the technique could be used to analyse delicate museum samples without destroying them.

László Biró at the Research Institute for Technical Physics and Materials Science and colleagues have developed an instrument that allows reflectance spectroscopy to be carried out on specimens without physically damaging them.

Detecting explosives hidden within clothing

15 Nov 2010
By .

Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy could be used to detect hazardous chemicals hidden behind clothing, and could improve security screening technology in places such as airports.

Celine Canal, David Hutchins and colleagues from the University of Warwick detected the explosive ammonium nitrate hidden behind a layer of various clothing materials, from light acrylic to thick denim. ‘Light in the NIR wavelength range is invisible to the naked eye, allowing unnoticeable remote detection,’ explains Hutchins.

Desty Memorial Lecture for Innovation in Separation Science

30 Sep 2010
By .

Brett Paull, Editor-in-Chief of Analytical Methods will be one of the speakers at the 15th Desty Memorial Lecture for Innovation in Separation Science, to be held in the Royal Institution of Great Britain on Wednesday 6th October 2010

I’ll also be attending , so if you’d like to meet either of us to discuss the journal or just to say hello, please do contact us.

Denis Desty was a great innovator and this event is to celebrate his life and innovations.  Key speakers have been invited who are recognised for they innovative work in separation science. Each year the Desty Award is presented to a young scientist who will have been judged to have shown great innovation in separation science.
