he Analytical Chemistry team is pleased to present the 2013 special issue of fundamental and applied reviews in analytical chemistry. The 19 topics in this issue provide critical reviews from pioneers in selected cutting edge topics and by experts in traditional core areas. These manuscripts highlight the innovations occurring in many of the subfields of analytical chemistry. We open with a report on micro total analysis systems: fundamental advances and applications in the laboratory, clinic and field. Advances in nanoscale electrochemistry, fiber optic chemical and biological sensors, and graphene-based field effect sensors move us toward greater sensitivity. Sensitivity is also emphasized in a discussion of chemical analysis of single cells and rounded out in this issue by a thoughtful discussion of fundamentals for LC miniaturization. Separation scientists have also contributed reviews of advances in multidimensional gas chromatography and recent developments in HPLC stationary phases. Advances are reported in two powerful imaging methods, fluorescence/luminescence, and secondary ion mass spectrometry. In addition to imaging, spectroscopy is well represented by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and an overview of atomic spectroscopy. A biannual report is included on chemometrics. The development of analytical strategies for protein analysis continues to be an important objective, and our review issue offers updates on the characterization of therapeutic antibodies, high throughput mass-linked immuneselective protein assays, and proteomics-based methods for discovery and characterization of protein−protein interactions. A related article discusses progress in the development of ion molecule reactions for structural and analytical studies. Lastly, two important and rapidly evolving areas of forensic and clinical application are introduced, analysis of dried blood spots and rapid microbial diagnostics based on mass spectrometry. This is the 65th edition of Analytical Chemistry reviews and continues our long tradition of supporting the technical sophistication and scientific diversity of measurement science with authoritative and critical reviews. I thank our distinguished authors for their contributions. Full references follow. 1.
