e are pleased to present the special issue of Fundamental and Applied Reviews in Analytical Chemistry for 2015. This year 19 reviews have been invited, which address cutting edge topics from across the spectrum of measurement science. Separations are important in the work of nearly all scientists, and commentaries are provided here on fundamentals and new capabilities of nanoflow, microflow, capillary electrophoresis, and paper flow. We also offer a critical review of the status of monolithic HPLC columns and an interesting report on studies of RPLC and ion exchange chromatographic processes using single molecule spectroscopy. Turning to affinity-based separations, we revisit the use of aptamers in analytical chemistry (see also the review issue January 2011) and hear arguments for the use of peptide ligand libraries for selective protein enrichment in proteomics. As the field of metabolomics develops, we consider the most important challenge to be data integration and analysis, and we have obtained an authoritative discussion of bioinformatic strategies for metabolomics. We increase the journal’s coverage of NMR by considering its utility in metabolomics and its important new capability to study living cells. Imaging is an area of national interest, and we are proud to include an account of spectroscopic imaging of single cells. The application of vibrational spectroscopy to forensic analysis is also reviewed. The dynamic area of mass spectrometry is represented in the special issue by authoritative discussions of molecular imaging, H/D exchange, and applications in archeology. Across all of science and engineering, interest and innovation in nanostructures continues to be strong, and we offer here expert reports on analytical applications of nanopores, plasmonic nanoparticles, fluorescent gold nanoparticles and, more broadly, sensors based on nanomaterials. Finally, I want to thank Mrs. Sara Moran, the editorial assistant in my office, who has invested thoughtful and considerable effort to bring this review issue to completion.
