REPORT 22 A Organically modified s o l - g e l sensors
22 A
Sol-gel techniques can be used to make biosensors, waveguide sensors, and modified electrodes in a variety of configurations. 0. Lev and colleagues at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel) describe the various sol-gel processes, compare the primary routes of organic modification of ceramics and composites, and present sensor applications that demonstrate the characteristics and current limitations of sol-gel technology.

Assuming that columns ordered today will behave identically to those ordered previously can be unwise for analytical chemists dealing with protein pharmaceuticals. Benny S. Welinder, Troels Kornfelt, and Hans H. Siirensen of Novo Nordisk A/S (Denmark) describe their experiences with column-to-column and batch-tobatch variations in commercially available stationary phases and suggest ways to avoid the problems these variations can cause.

GFAAS: A mature technique for a modest investment. The graphite furnace has become the analyst's atomizer of choice because it can be used to determine trace amounts of metals in a variety of matrices. We review the basic theory involved and compare the features of representative commercial instruments.
