Microscopy

Particle agglomeration can compromise the clinical efficacy of pharmaceutical products and must therefore be closely controlled. Automated particle image analysis provides one technology which can aid agglomerate detection. This article provides practical guidance on how imaging can be applied as a routine method to robustly identify and quantify the state of agglomeration of pharmaceutical formulations.

Conventional mass spectrometry can only measure the mass of a molecule – what if you could image the same molecule simultaneously?

David Duffy, Ulf Landegren, Antoine van Oijen, and Menno Prins crash through the concentration barrier and investigate the ultimate limit of analytical sensitivity.

Ahead of New Oleans, we offer a little history, editorial program picks, and invite you to the Humanity in Science Award symposium.

In this second article of a short series Dr Paul Kippax is looking at the how recent innovations are substantially enhancing the value and informational productivity of some of our established and trusted analytical techniques. This time, the addition of multiple detectors to a GPC/SEC analysis…

Accurate measurement drives progress in science in immeasurable ways. Here, we celebrate a year’s worth of advances in The Analytical Scientist Innovation Awards 2014. What impact will these 15 TASIA winners have on your field?

Frequently asked questions related to the application of DLS to the characterization of protein therapeutic formulations

“During human progress, every science is evolved out of its corresponding art,” wrote Herbert Spencer in 1861. So, is analytical chemistry truly as much an art form as a science?

Water quality control testing at multiple locations along a distribution system is a challenging and time-consuming process, particularly in low-income countries.

Our third effort at developing a simple analytical diagnostic for malaria looks promising. It could help prevent the spread of the most devastating disease on the planet.
