Published: April 1, 2021

This issue of Analytical Science Advances includes review papers written by authorities in the field, covering a wide range topics field analytical sciences. Authors were asked to provide critical discussing state-of-the-art their and highlight key developments applications literature published 2020. These reviews are ideally suited for those who want rapid overview latest advances particular learn about emerging applications. Mass spectrometry (MS) is an immensely important technology that still rapidly develops continues find new application areas. In on rise single-cell proteomics, Ctortecka Mechtler discuss current MS-based workflows. particular, aspects sample preparation when working with minute amounts samples discussed, possibilities separation science highlighted, MS quantification strategies including data postprocessing discussed. An capabilities high-resolution its applicability pharmaceutical analysis provided Géhin Holman. Rankin-Turner Heaney technological ambient ionization paper biomedical sciences, forensics security, food environment, chemical synthesis. The Hoffmann group summarizes imaging, focus approaches tissue-based imaging. Several covered science. De Vos et al. summarize UHPLC multi-dimensional LC instrument development recent Franchina reports instrumental comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC), hyphenation novel upstream or downstream processes. Major applied fields such as energy, fuel, foodstuff, plant, biological, environmental also covered. low molecular weight polar ionic components using ion (IC) coupled summarized Bruggink Jensen. Further IC hyphenated inductively plasma mass spectrometric detection reviewed. Muza described designing fabricating bioconjugated self-assembled polymer structures characterization flow fractionation. latter technique utilizes fluid dynamics external force effective separations at steady-state conditions within solvent filled channel. Finally, Eeltink reviewed organic polymer-based monolithic stationary phases. Other included this high-throughput experimentation (HTE), volatile flavor fragrance compounds, trends artificial intelligence, machine learning, chemometrics data. HTE growing evolving Vervoort considers throughput chromatographic spectroscopic techniques, well manipulation. compounds essential characterizing samples, oils, cosmetics. Louw techniques most frequently used 2020, which comprises assisted evaporation extraction, GC mobility spectrometry, electronic senses. Houhou Bocklitz intelligence based methods chemometrics, deep learning respect, inverse modeling, preprocessing methods, modeling spectra image various measurement allowing translate measurements can be full extent.

Clearly, progress being made direct society. am looking forward follow-up 2022 may include themes insights topics.
