Bioanalytical challenges for analytical chemists.
Analytical chemistry contributes significantly to the life sciences through developing measurement techniques that provide quantitative chemical information. Developments in biological research present new challenges for analytical chemistry and call for revolutionary methods and new thinking. Dana Spence outlines here some key and unique challenges encountered when making measurements on samples of a biological nature, supported with real examples from his own research.
