Aims and Scope
Microchimica Acta (MCA) publishes articles on truly novel methods of modern chemical, biochemical and biological analysis based on the use of advanced (non-routine) micro/nano-materials. Coverage includes all kinds of micro- and nano-shaped particles, upconversion particles, quantum dots, micro/nano-wires, molecular frameworks, meso- and nanoporous materials, nano-sized/structured imprints, thin films, hybrid materials, and related nanosized matter. Coverage also includes methods for modification and (bio)functionalization of respective surfaces, and the characterization of the materials used. It is essential, though, that (bio)analytical applicability is being demonstrated. Typical applications include chemical assays, bioassays, cellular imaging, and preconcentrations, for example to the
