September 2016 Issue of The Analytical Scientist

Welcome to the September issue! In our Upfront section we share what hominins had for dinner, the chemistry at the core of our nearest planets – and updates on the analytical science business world. In our cover feature, Fiona Greer explains how analytical scientists can ‘chase the fingerprint’ in the world of biosimilars, while key scientists pay tribute to the legendary gas chromatographer Harold McNair. And we sit down with ‘proteomic protagonist’ Albert Heck, who discusses whether the field of proteomics has lived up to its early promise.
