Cyanide Poisoning: from Physiology to Forensic Analytical Chemistry

The extreme toxicity of cyanide, its wide industrial application as well as its continued illegal use generate research interest in different fields of science, imposing multidisciplinary approach to study cyanide poisoning. This review presents new data about cyanide exposure, toxicology, and antidote development. Cyanide concerned research in environmental and forensic sciences along with med...

International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry Analytical Chemistry Division on Separation Methods in Analytical Chemistry (v3)* Analytical Chiral Separation Methods

In recent years there has been considerable interest in the synthesis and separation of enantiomers of organic compounds especially because of their importance in the biochemistry and pharmaceutical industry. Frequently the methods used for the separations, for monitoring the progress of an asymmetric synthesis or optical purity of the products are chromatographic with either liquids, gases, or...

Analytical Chemistry Division Commission on General Aspects of Analytical Chemistry* Classification and Definition of Analytical Methods Based on Flowing Media

The aim of this report is to classify analytical methods based on flowing media and to define (standardize) terminology. After the classification and a discussion of terms describing the systems and component parts, a section is devoted to terms describing the performance of flow systems. The list of terms included is restricted to the most relevant ones; especially 'self-explanatory' terms are...
