Preparation of gold nanoparticles using pyridine-formaldehyde as a reducing agent and its application in high sensitivity colorimetric detection of Pb2+

Analytical Methods welcomes early applications of new analytical and bioanalytical methods and technology demonstrating the 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 diagnostics biosensors and bioengineering drug development and pharmaceutical analysis applied microfluidics and nanotechnology omics studies, such as proteomics, metabolomics or glycomics environmental, agricultural and food science neuroscience biochemical and clinical analysis forensic analysis industrial process and method development
