SNanozymes for Bioanalysis and Beyond
Invited & Contributed
ANYL – Division of Analytical Chemistry
Organizers: Hui Wei, Juewen Liu
Description: Nanozymes are the catalytic nanomaterials with enzyme mimicking activities, which have received great attentions because of their advantages over natural enzymes and conventional enzyme mimics. They have been explored for a wide range of applications. Particularly, nanozymes have been used for varieties of analytical applications, ranging from bioactive small molecule detection and immunoassays to bioimaging and cancer diagnosis. The proposed Symposium will focus on these interesting analytical applications by highlighting the recent progress and discussing current challenges and further directions. It will also cover other emerging topics in nanozymes research such as therapeutic applications and computational studies. Due to the diversity and importance of the topic, it will attract attendees from analytical chemistry as well as other disciplines. I believe the session meet the high standard of ACS Meeting.

Multidimensional GC: From Petroleum to Beyond
Invited & Contributed
ANYL – Division of Analytical Chemistry
Organizers: Petr Vozka, Katelynn Perrault, Christine Kelly
Description: Many of today’s research samples, such as fuels, human breath, environmental air, forensic evidence, food, and beverages, consist of complex chemical mixtures. Therefore, powerful separation techniques are needed to determine the chemical composition. Advances like multidimensional gas chromatography (MDGC), which evolved from one-dimensional chromatography, have started to gain recognition for their power to separate challenging samples and for their application to the nontargeted profiling of complex mixtures. This symposium seeks relevant contributions from academia and industry on chemical characterization using MDGC, addressing one or more of the following topical areas: sample preparation, method development, detectors and modulators, and advanced data processing.
Advances in Chemical Forensics: Supporting Legal Investigations with Analytical Science
