Fields & Applications

Exposure to dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) remains a significant threat to a substantial proportion of the European population. To maintain high levels of vigilance, analytical strategies need to evolve. Here, I propose substantial changes to the EU’s monitoring strategy, changes that channel the power of modern analytical technology to accurately, rapidly and inexpensively monitor food and feed for dioxins, PCBs and as-yet-unidentified toxicants.

What are the effects of mixtures of toxic substances, all present at low concentrations in our foodstuffs, and how should we go about measuring them?

DNA aptamer-based sensors could take the world of personalized medicine by storm, but only if aptamer selection doesn’t prove to be a roadblock

Research using lobsters shows how discontinuous odor information is integrated at the neuronal level to produce an ‘olfactory scene’. It could have practical applications in identifying the location of explosives or drugs.

Biopsy tissue sample preparation in a tube promises to be cheap, fast, reproducible and automated

How safe is the water? Four gurus of water analysis sense a looming threat from complex mixtures of pollutants. They propose intelligent, integrated monitoring approaches to combat the fear of the unknown.
