Analytical Methods welcomes early applications of new analytical methods and technology demonstrating potential for societal impact.We require that methods and technology reported in the journal are sufficiently innovative, robust, accurate, and compared to other available methods for the intended application. Developments with interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. Systems should be proven with suitably complex and analytically challenging samples.We encourage developments within, but not limited to, the following technologies and applications:global health, point-of-care and molecular diagnosticsbiosensors and bioengineeringdrug development and pharmaceutical analysisapplied microfluidics and nanotechnologyomics studies, such as proteomics, metabolomics or glycomicsenvironmental, agricultural and food scienceneurosciencebiochemical and clinical analysisforensic analysisindustrial process and method development
