The latest issue ofAnalytical Methodsis finally available online.Take a look at our new cover and discover all about the research behind it.
Carlos Garciaand colleagues from theUniversity of Texas at San Antonio,USA,present a new and fast microchip-inspired analytical device based on standard Plexiglas.Five plastic microfluidic components are directly connected to capillary tubes that easily enable the in-channel detection of analytes.The researchers demonstrated the efficiency of this method performing analysis of inorganic cations by capillary electrophoresis from soil samples from the Atacama Desert.
