Immunoassay is a method that identifies and quantifies unknown analytes usiag antibody—antigen reactions. Techniques are based ia immunochemistry, analytical chemistry, and biochemistry, with a history of development paralleling advances ia microbiology and immunology (see also Immunotherapeutic agents). 

Analytical instruments play an increasingly important role in modern analytical chemistry. The trend is not limited in chemistry but in all phases of natural science and technology, as one easily can watch in rapid progresses in molecular biology, nano-materials technology, and the related bio-medical reseai ch. Instiaimental developments can now even be a determining factor in the advancement of science itself. 

Analytical chemistry having an interdisciplinary character cannot set aside the attractive power and advances of supramolecular chemistry - the chemistry beyond the molecule or the chemistry of molecular assemblies and of intermolecular bonds as defined by Jean-Marie Lehn, who won the Nobel Prize in 1987. Recognition, reactivity, and transport, as well as self-assembly, self-organization and self-replication are the basic functional features of supramolecular species and chemistry. 

Recent advances in accelerator technology have reduced the cost and size of an RBS instrument to equal to or less than many other analytical instruments, and the development of dedicated RBS systems has resulted in increasing application of the technique, especially in industry, to areas of materials science, chemistry, geology, and biology, and also in the realm of particle physics. However, due to its historical segregation into physics rather than analytical chemistry, RBS still is not as readily available as some other techniques and is often overlooked as an analytical tool.

The researcher in food and its analysis is keenly aware that his task will not be finished until the quality of a food product can be defined completely in precise terms of its flavor, color, texture, and nutritive value. The goal is distant but the journey is well begun. The papers contained herein describe the present state of affairs in each of as many of the fields of food analysis as time for the symposium permitted. Each has been covered by an outstanding worker in his field. It is unfortunate that B. L. Oser s excellent paper on Advances in Vitamin Determination does not appear. His more comprehensive review of food analysis which appeared in Analytical Chemistry [21, 216 (1949)] should by all means be studied along with the papers contained herein.

For low-use rate compounds applied on a grams per hectare basis, it has sometimes been necessary to apply the cumulative seasonal rate in a single application in order to improve analytical detection. Advances in analytical chemistry have greatly improved the trace-level detection of agrochemicals in soil but it is still prudent to verify that sufficient analytical sensitivity exists to detect agrochemicals at their anticipated soil... 

Industrial applications of microwaves have been described [447]. Zlotorzynski [441] has described the latest advances in the application of microwave energy to analytical chemistry.

To satisfy the obvious need of providing a medium for the publication of highly specialized symposia in their entirety, the editors of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Chemical and Engineering News proposed to the Board of Directors of the American Chemical Society the establishment of an Advances in Chemistry Series. Permission was readily received from the Board of Directors on June 4, 1949. 

Probably the most extensive use of particle morphology and microscopy has been in the area of chemical microscopy. With this approach, derivatives of the analyte species are prepared, crystallized, and identified through the morphological characteristics of these derivatives [21]. Most of these applications have been superseded by modem methods of analysis, but the microscopic method can still be used by skilled practitioners for the study of trace quantities of analyte. The literature developed during the heyday of chemical microscopy is too large to be reviewed here, but advances in the field are still chronicled in the Annual Reviews issue of Analytical Chemistry [22]. A substantial review of the optical characteristics of organic compounds is available [23].
