February 2025 Issue of The Analytical Scientist

To kick off 2025, five leaders in the field of environmental analysis each showcase a different area in which analytical innovations are helping to protect our planet. In our second feature, Ron Heeren, Deirdre Cabooter and Koen Sandra reflect on the current achievements and future directions for the field of analytical science. In My View features Lorena Vidal and Sibel Ozkan discussing sample preparation methods and molecularly imprinted polymers respectively. For the Core Topic, Martin Jarrold shares his experiences with charge-detection mass spectrometry, Oliver Schmitz evaluates the prospect of a future without the need for chromatography, and Mickhail Mirov and Sergey Vasilyev discuss recent developments in infrared spectroscopy via the use of dual frequency combs. Finally, we sit down with Damià Barceló Cullerès: the number one-ranked “Planet Protector” in our 2024 Power List.
