TRAC: Trends in Analytical Chemistry (PDF)

Trends in Analytical Chemistry, Volume 12 focuses on the advancements of processes, technologies, automation, and applications of analytical chemistry.
The selection first offers information on single-cell analysis at the level of a single human erythrocyte and micellar catalysis in reaction-rate methods. Topics include analytical strategies, analysis of single erythrocytes, kinetic aspects of micellar catalysis, and micellar kinetic multicomponent determination. The text then takes a look at advances in the field of laser atomic spectroscopy and molecular recognition of sugars, including detection of sugar complexation, driving force and selectivity of sugar complexation, atomization/excitation source, and diagnostic tool.
The manuscript examines charge-remote fragmentations for structural determination of lipids; advances in speciation analysis by capillary gas chromatography; and chemical pattern recognition and multivariate analysis for QSAR studies. The publication also ponders on in-vivo microdialysis sampling in pharmacokinetic studies; a novel single beam optical spectrophotometer for fast luminescence, absorption, and reflection measurements of turbid materials; and techniques for the study and characterization of advanced materials.
The selection is a dependable reference for readers interested in the trends in analytical chemistry.
